BestPicturePlutoNash Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Are these big drops? I don't know. Licorice Pizza going to 222k after 396k Sunday and WSS hitting like 300k after 550k feels steep. Or expected as its Monday after New Years?

Next Monday it will be 65%+ and 80% for the family films. Today and Tomorrow will drop more as the return to school and work continues across the country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdsacken Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 6 hours ago, keysersoze123 said: I strongly disagree. Despite the variant not having same impact as Delta its definitely a huge deal. Its R0 numbers are so bad that its causing hospitals to shutdown units which to be is not trivial. We hit 1 million cases today and that will have big impact at hospitals if they are ravaged as well. That said I doubt movie theaters will close state side though some capacity constraints could be in play if spread continues rampant. its 10-15x weaker than Delta versus vaccinated.

Legion Again Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) The 1M cases are from spiky weekday reporting, but the 7DMA is at 500k and clearly has a lot of room to grow. Actual infections likely over 10x that, coming up on perhaps 50M infections per week — operation “everyone in the country gets omicron” is well underway at this point and only as a matter of weeks before it’s fully burnt out. And along the way there isn’t much risk except to those who decided to remain vulnerable (and a small minority who are unable to get vaccinated, for which this is a really awful tragic time but it isn’t really sensible to drive society level policy around them).

I dont care about the voluntarily unvaxed but thats not the only risk. Hospitals getting overwhelmed will mean unintended casualties for those who needed medical attention but couldnt get it (or at least not in time). Another risk is staffing shortages everywhere if so many get sick at the same time. So many places were already seeing staff shortages before Omicron and this will exacerbate it. Speaking from a BO perspective thats not good for the box office if cinemas do not have adequate staff to run. Its also not good if a huge chunk of your potential audience gets sick. It’s a relief though that given its speed the effects will be felt only short term but this could affect current movies legs and those movies coming out within the next 1-2 months. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is as well with cinemas so dead a lot of cinemas are running on skeletal staff. I went to a theater and was maybe 5-6 people working in the whole theater for a 16 screen theater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see extreme concern for hospitals based on the overseas (few weeks ahead) data. Some systems will get stressed, of course, which is not good — but not much reason to think they’ll break. Re: Staff shortages the CDC loosening quarantine was a good step and it makes sense to relax testing and quarantine even more imo. If you’re vacced and asymptotic it’s pretty much fine to just keep coming into work and being around people. BOwise I agree that there’s some impact, but it’s been present for the last few weeks as well, so I don’t know if we should expect too much week-over-week impact. Especially since grosses are going to be so low now (esp weekdays) — if you’re having some staff shortages at a 10plex because of covid, you can pretty much just give 3 screens to NWH, one to sing, one to 355, one split KM/Underdog, don’t even run the other 4 and it’s not like you’re going to be missing much business. And yeah, we should be on the downslope in like 2 weeks, so… we’ll just weather the storm a bit, then sunny days by the time the next big movie comes out (in March, lol). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, a lot of people with mild cases of covid end up with measurable organ damage so act like the vaxx is the silver bullet at your own peril 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
