Two of the country's largest theater chains are taking dramatic steps amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Cinemas in New York City and Los Angeles were order closed Sunday by those cities' mayors. Many art-house theaters have also shuttered.Ticket sales plunged to their lowest levels in at least 20 years at the weekend box office for U.S. and Canadian theaters. More people went to the movies the weekend after Sept. 11, 2001, according Comscore.
Hollywood has postponed most of its upcoming releases. Next week’s most anticipated movie, “A Quiet Place: Part II,” has been removed from the release schedule. Other major movies, including Disney’s “Mulan” and the James Bond film “No Time to Die,” have been put off. That means that even if movie theaters remain open in the coming weeks, they will have little to play.
