i hope they survive as i live on the isle of wight and cineworld is the only decent multiplex cinema we have
fingers crossed
I've just frozen my unlimited card as to be quite honest cineworld didn't even seem to be trying very hard now i know that theres no new films to show but i was hoping they would put on some old classics which they did at the start but then really slowed down so that the only films they seemed to be showing was tenet new mutants and romcoms
personally i think the studios are hoping the chains go bust so they can swoop in and buy them for pennies on the dollar

I think the big movie companies may end up doing what Disney did with Mulan, straight to streaming services at a higher than usual price.
It is a sad time for a lot of people, not just cinemas
Literally every cinema in Birmingham in the last 10yrs that I've been to has had the experience ruined by noisy chavs talking or messing about and the staff or security dont do anything about it.
Either that or the quality is sooo bad you cant see anything in the dark as the contrast is so low it whites out what's going on or it's just unintelligible mumbles like Tenet as the bass is so loud or the speakers are broken and havent been replaced.
The only exception was Frozen 2.
So really I dont care if the Cinemas close forever.
Will just buy it on disc or digitally and watch at home.
I'm only 39 but rereading that makes me sound like a grumpy old man.
Eventually the Studio's will need the cash, as their cashflow has come to a halt. They simply cannot finance new films, so we might see some major blockbusters released online between now and Easter 2021.
It just depends how much people are prepared to pay to stream. Currently a whole family can view for less than the price of a single cinema ticket for a recent film. This does not make for a viable option for studios who spend millions of dollars on major productions. As it is calculations are made before any film goes into production as to how much it will make from cinemas, TV, streaming and disks etc around the world. If these forecasts can't be seen to meet the cost of the movie it doesn't get made.I've been mulling this over for a while... You may think this idea is stupid or may not.
The studios release their movies by going direct to PPV (pay per view) internet release, then subscription platforms and then disc, but give say, 20% of their profits to cinema chains. That would keep them afloat. But then I thought no, they wouldn't do that because they are American, and all American companies care about is money. Which is a pity, because going to the cinema is an experience unlike anything one can get at home but sadly it's not looking good.

I don't think so. That kind of content just won't get made. We'll never again see Endgame level films in terms of budget if cinemas don't get back to normal.we will have to be prepared to pay much more for content to view on them.
