SenJohnBlutarsky approves this message. But in all seriousness sir, well said and thank you for saying it. {nm} lobogotti Jun 29, 17:06

August does seem to make sense for a lot of reasons, for the big return. But something tells me it will be Nov. VictorY Jun 29, 18:10

The theater model is dead. Things are beginning to lock down again and before long the whole country will be shut down Nobody Jun 29, 18:59

Yeah, returning lockdowns will impact worse the next time. I agree with Nobody {nm} VictorY Jun 29, 19:02

Doomsdayers are always good for a chuckle. Many theaters will change hands, but cinemas, restaurants, sports, & concerts will thrive again! {nm} PhoneHome Jun 30, 05:21

Oh definitely. The problem is marketing those films with so much theater uncertainity. They can't just piggy back off tent=poles. {nm} VictorY Jun 29, 19:08

PA was a microbudget film (less than $1m) that was given a limited release that did terrific in limited release and ramped up to a wide Moviesnob Jun 29, 19:37

True, probably can't do that model again, but something similar (in another genre) could emerge. {nm} VictorY Jun 29, 19:39
