It's a tough time in theatre right now. Many planned box office releases have faced serious delays and the ongoing virus has pretty much sent people away from public venues.

Is cinema dead? Not quite, but the current business model and lack of production flow has put cinemas into a phase of shutdown. Here's hoping they comeback sooner rather than later!
