CORONAVIRUS AND THE FILM INDUSTRY

IN MY OPINION:

CORONAVIRUS AND THE FILM INDUSTRY>>

 

The immense and lucrative Chinese film industry was hit almost immediately as movie theaters across the country were closed and major releases were delayed. Hollywood soon began to feel the effects, too, and as time passes, the impact of the coronavirus on the global film and entertainment industries will certainly grow.

Consequences of the pandemic on these industries could range from lowered attendance at film festivals and disruptions in film distribution to delayed or canceled movie releases and concert dates to curtailed on-location film shoots. Financial ramifications will likely be felt by studios, filmmakers, theater owners, and more for some time to come. Even agents 'like us' are effected, when 90% of films are on hold or have not begun yet. Georgia

had over 30 films filming just a few short weeks ago. Of course we are still doing tv spots and parts of some

films that don't require tons of people in a small space.. Recovery coming soon...hope, hope.
