Via Screen Rant: The New York Times' Brooks Barnes took to Twitter to share a statement from analyst Doug Cruetz. In it, Cruetz paints an unflattering picture of when viewers can expect to return to movie theaters across the country. Check out Barnes' post in the space below: It should be noted Cruetz's quote is not confirmation movie theaters will stay closed into 2021, but what he's saying makes sense. A number of the films that have been delayed, including Tenet, Mulan, and Wonder Woman 1984, are massive tentpoles with production budgets as high as $200 million. It's been reported Tenet needs to gross $800 million worldwide to break even, so it wouldn't do WB much good to release it at a time when theaters need to limit attendance. That, combined with the fact some people may be unwilling to go to a theater in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic, means any movie that comes out in 2020 will almost definitely earn less money than it would under normal circumstances. Since Hollywood is a business, it's logical studios would want their movies to debut when they stood a chance to have higher grosses. |

Technically he’s wrong because theaters are already open and showing older movies. His larger point seems accurate, though. With all of these huge studio movies made for hundreds of millions of dollars, they’re not going to want to release them into theaters when California, New York, and other high-profit states don’t even have them open and the remaining states are filling theaters at half-capacity at most. It’s all about the money, and they’re not going to want to pay for multiple releases. |

I had takeout from Subway this week... not gonna lie, I felt like I was in danger like being in a hospital. It's nearly adjacent my work & I hadn't been since February... I really wanted something different.
I don't see myself in a theatre until next spring at the earliest... unless it's a small indie flick that'll have less than 20 ppl in the audience. My last theatrical viewing was The Lighthouse... couldn't have been more than 10 ppl in there.

If those paranoid people on the left have any say, if your lucky, it's probably more like 2121.
Seriously? ; who the hell would make a movie that needs THAT much JUST to break even? ; makes no sense as risk is way too high as I figure even half of that figure is pushing it off the top of my head.
Only people who have a irrational fear of a virus that has a small chance to kill you would think that way...
On July 7th 2020 episode of the Laura Ingraham show... "We know now that the fatality rate is 0.04% for people under 70. which is less then or equal to seasonal flu for people under 70 years old" - Dr. Scott Atlas
so while I fairly rarely to get to the theaters in general (I have not been at the theaters since Oct 28th 2011), if I wanted to see a movie in the theaters I would go ASAP. COVID-19 would have ZERO effect on me because I don't fear a virus that's overblown by the liberal media where they are more about fear-mongering than reality.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. And even 2021 might be optimistic.

Well, theaters here in Germany have been open for weeks, showing reruns of classics or smaller indie and some new German movies. I haven't been to the cinema though, not because I'm afraid, but because I would prefer to wait for some new films worth watching. Originally Tenet was going to be the first one, but at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if it was moved to 2021.
The likes of Unhinged are not enough of a draw to lure me into a cinema.

Not that people will think they’re terrible or something but they just lose interest and then they’ll flop anyway. It’d be 2016 all over again, when it seemed like everything other summer movie was a box office disappointment. |

Drag something out for too long and interest is understandably gonna wane. But the summer of 2016 seems like a golden age compared to this summer. |

I'm wondering if it'll even be possible for movies like Tenet, Mulan, No Time To Die or Wonder Woman to make a profit considering they've never stopped their marketing campaigns. It was very smart of Blumhouse to push back Halloween Kills till October 2021 before it began bleeding money.

I'm a little surprised people are venturing out to see old movies that are currently being played in theaters like Ghostbusters (1984) and The Empire Strikes Back. I mean you can save money, be more safe, and have more comfort watching those movies at home. But of course some people have a need to get out of the house if they can to air themselves out.
