  1. AMC was showing 25 minutes of previews before every movie. That was at least 15 minutes too long.

    All the theater chains are going to have trouble. There will be some people really happy to be able to go to movies again. But others that will avoid theaters, literally like the plague. The question is will the reduced demand be enough to fill theaters (at least on weekends) to their new reduced capacities? Will that demand/capacity be enough to keep them in business?

  2. It’s summer. Couples want somewhere air-conditioned they can hang out before they bone, they’ll watch second-run stuff til the pipeline fills back up. Just stop showing so fucking many previews.
