And for the most part. Here we are. Theater-less.From James Bond to bust: Why the coronavirus might kill the movie business as we know it
Hollywood delays blockbuster release dates as moviegoers expected to avoid the multiplexwww.theglobeandmail.com
I was reading this article about how the C virus will impact attendance for films in theatres. This reminded me of what you had wrote.
"It is a very good time to be Netflix. Sure, the streaming giant is carrying billions of dollars in debt, faces new rivals armed with more fully stocked intellectual-property arsenals and lower price points, and possesses an Oscar trophy case that remains sparsely populated. But with the coronavirus spooking the global film industry in new and terrifying ways every day, it is not hard to imagine that just that many more moviegoers will decide to avoid the multiplex this year, and wait out the outbreak by bingeing Love Is Blind. COVID-19 may not be Netflix’s ultimate saviour, but it just might kill the traditional movie business as we know it."
BTW, No Time to Die, the new James Bond film starring Daniel Craig, would abandon its early April global release in favour of a debut later this fall.
As for the internet. I’m thinking surveillance. Especially during covid lockdowns.
I wonder if opened states will shut down again?
