Not to derail, but as we were learning more and more about the virus/situation, there were multiple threads over there that had some of the best, up-to-date info, and some really smart/helpful analyzation. For a time, it was an incredible resource. But it of course devolved into the typical hyper-politicalization, name calling, conspiracy theorizing, etc, and I regretfully got sucked in trying to challenge some of the more moronic takes.

As I have learned, totally not worth it.
Spend 5 minutes there and you'll feel infinitely smarter and also understand why so much stupid stuff happens in the country.Pahdz said:

Looks like AMC could be back from the brink, as yet another major theater chain is now aiming for a beginning-of-July time frame to hopefully be up-and-running again...

You thinking the marketing machine might start up again in the month of May?
Awesome news. The sooner the better. Once they get protocols in place, hopefully most everything can get back to filming by May/June-ish.
Will the first movie we see in a theater in months be TENET?TCTTS said:

*drool*
Knock on wood, but as of now, I really think it might. It's currently the earliest scheduled movie on the calendar - July 17 - and the fact that Warner Bros. STILL hasn't moved it tells me they're all in on their gamble. Combined with the tweet I posted a couple days ago, which basically said that because there are no other releases, even if theaters are only allowed to be half full, a movie like Tenet can play on way more screens, and thus presumably make the same or even more money than it would have otherwise. That said, who knows how many people will actually feel safe going to theaters in mid-July, and a million things could happen between now and then, but if it actually pans out that Tenet is our first movie back, what great way to kick-off/celebrate movie-going again.

IF Tenet and WW84 hold their spots, yeah, I think marketing hopefully kicks off again in May. Nearly every major blockbuster for 2020 was rumored to debut a new trailer with Black Widow on May 1, so I could definitely see Tenet, WW84, and maybe a couple others, sticking to that general time frame and start releasing trailers again early next month. We shall see...
with the open and available screens, for the May-August timeline that's vacant from Biggest Blockbusters that were moved out, will the Theaters be bringing back classic movies to the theaters? That might be fun to re-live classic movies to the Big Screen
That the plan, it sounds like. Cinemark specifically mentioned doing that when the doors first open again.
Cinemark does/did this monthly. I know I would be excited to just get out of the house, so what is showing doesn't really matter.nosoupforyou said:

What's the distance between rows on the luxury loungers type theater setup. Gotta be right around 6' right?
Sine poena nulla lex.
Honestly surprised it took them this long.

The ones at my local AMC are definitely closer than six feet apart. I'd feel comfortable skipping every other recliner there.
At Movie House we like to get the two seats on the far side of the aisle, so we'd be pretty distanced to start with. I think you're right though, more like 4 feet between rows of lounge seating.TCTTS said:TennAg said:

I'm honestly not a "the virus will kill us all" guy, but for the sake of discussion, say an infected, asymptomatic guy goes to the first showing, movie ends, they clear the theater, I come in and sit in his seat, put my hand on the same armrest, etc., am I at any risk?TCTTS said:TennAg said:

Yes.
That said, theaters will no doubt be disinfecting between screenings. My local theater had already starting doing so before the shut down; wiping down seats, ticket taker using hand sanitizer, etc. Now, whether or not you trust a minimum wage high school kid to properly disinfect an entire theater is another story...

Makes sense. I suppose at some point we'll all just need to accept that for awhile anyway we can't eliminate all risk if we ever want to leave the house.C@LAg said:yes, you are at risk of catching it or being a carrier. dependent on your age, health and other things, you may not have much in the way or symptoms or may not get too ill from it..LawHall88 said:I'm honestly not a "the virus will kill us all" guy, but for the sake of discussion, say an infected, asymptomatic guy goes to the first showing, movie ends, they clear the theater, I come in and sit in his seat, put my hand on the same armrest, etc., am I at any risk?TCTTS said:TennAg said:

Exactly. I'll probably be wearing both a mask and gloves to the theater for at least a while. Won't touch my face in public. Then, when I get home after, the clothes I wore to the theater go straight in the wash. Other than that, I'm going to try to live as normally as possible.

While not ideal I know there are people like posters on this board that will do that but Im curious how many people will find it worth the effort to mask and glove up to go to a theater. With a family that is a pain in the ass and you have to worry about the kids (I'm even talking teenagers) touching their faces and stuff. Also, you said it earlier, but how much do you trust the people that work there to sanitize properly. I hope they figure it out though and we can get back to going to the movies and out of the current suckage of today.

Masks are literally a city-wide requirement here.
I know you didn't mean it that way but that posted is unintentionally hilarious

Really does feel like it could come down to the wire for Tenet...
