Others likely to follow at their theme parks in Japan, China & Paris. I assume if Disney are struggling that badly then the likes of Universal, Sea World, Busch Gardens etc will be releasing people too. It’s not the people Sea World should be releasing. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody that works in a business that sells tickets to people, or to business's that benefit from the presence of those people will be doing the same. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that they would be in even more trouble. Animation also, can be made anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was originally planned for November launch but they pulled it forward 6 months when they saw the crisis unfolding. When cash flow is king it was a very smart move.

Davkaus Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) They say it's only until next year, but it's hard to see them reopening. I don't expect Odeon, Vue, and Showcase are far behind. Edited October 4, 2020 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'm surprised they've lasted this long. The current release schedule for the blockbusters that keep cinemas going is basically blank. And you'd be nuts to go to any venue where you're sitting indoors with large numbers of other people for any length of time. Except the office. You must go to the office. The virus is killed by the presence of spreadsheets and Outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the US airlines starting lay offs this week as well? The March deal kept them from lay offs until October 5th, but now there's a big number coming from American alone. For the entire sector the numbers are probably massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like its going to be even worse than the credit crunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then things reopened, people started wearing masks as lip and neck warmers, felt they were invincible with them and as a result the figures have started to creep up. What you are suggesting will see a dramatic increase. The selfish won’t care as long as they get their gigs, holidays, football and nights out it won’t matter. It might matter to others, but not to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current situation is not as good as it should be, but it’s far better then it would be if everyone completely gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
