This is a bunch of crap.
Will there be any theaters left to show any movie in with all these postponements? I could put a list of things that I really hate right now, and right near the top would be this vast over-reaction of the f*****ng virus. Hey, let's destroy so many industries, or seriously cripple them, all for a virus that the vast majority will survive.
i don't know if you have or not, so this isn't a "gotcha", but have you gone to see any of the movies in the theaters right now?
you have to put your money where your mouth is if you're going to complain about an over-reaction to the virus.
they aren't going to put out movies that have a limited "freshness" if they are going to make $15 million dollars on them.
if people aren't going to the theaters to see the movies, then you can't get too upset about studios trying to hold on to projects that they want to get a good return on.
i applaud TENET for trying to make it happen, but even worldwide, i don't think they are going to turn a profit from theatrical release. supposed production cost was ~$200 million and they are at like $300 million worldwide right now. my understanding of movie finances is dim, but i think that puts them solidly in the red, still.
