The movie industry is taking a huge hit.........all to get President Trump......
Does No Time to Die really want to be the next canary in the coronavirus coalmine? Especially after Tenet completely collapsed with just $36 million in domestic sales over four weekends. And anyone who tells you Warner Bros. is happy with $251 million worldwide haul for Tenet is lying. Tenet probably needed $450 to $500 million just to break even. So that is what you call a total wipeout.
How stupid and unnecessary was all this?
Young people go to the movies.
Young people have very little to fear from the coronavirus. There are studies that show it’s about as fatal for those under 50 as the common flu.
But everyone had to freak out and overreact, even though this country has gone through pandemics before without quarantining the healthy and forcing us all into masks, without destroying so much for no valid reason.
Honestly, who wants to sit through a two-plus hour movie in a friggin’ mask?
The question then becomes what if people discover they don’t really miss going to the movies? Which so far seems to be the case.
What if people pick up other habits? What if people realize crowds are kinda germy and scuzzy even without the China Virus?
Regardless, 2020 is dead, a lost year at the box office with only $1.9 billion in domestic receipts so far this year, compared to $8.3 billion at this same time last year and $8.8 billion in 2018.
I’m finding I don’t miss going to the movies at all, and there is plenty of stuff from the past I don’t mind returning to again and again.
There’s a bit of karma in the fact Hollywood supports Democrats and Democrats killed the movies. We’ve only had about 50 cases in my county and no deaths, and our Democrat governor still hasn’t opened the movie theater.

Nolte: Latest Theatrical Moves Make 2020 a Lost Year for the Movies
Big movies have lost their nerve and scurried to next year or much later this year, which means 2020 is a total box office washout.
