MFHQ MEMO | From Chambana<\/del> Mendota with Love<\/del> Movie-Going Dreams<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been about three months since movie theaters shut down in response to the pandemic. We have not learned much since then about what a future trip to the cinema might entail other than drive-ins are having their renewed day in the sun<\/span><\/a>, despite the fact they have to operate at night, and TROLLS WORLD TOUR<\/span><\/strong> made a mint<\/span><\/a> regardless of being redirected to a video-on-demand premiere. It will be a while before we have more clarity and procedure dictating how we can safely return to the fold, even with bobbled political attempts to coerce theaters to open back up<\/a><\/span>, so we must simply wait until further notice. Compare what Owen Gleiberman<\/span><\/strong> of Variety<\/span><\/strong> wrote<\/span><\/a> at the outset of the closure with Sara Stewart<\/span><\/strong>\u2019s sentiments as shared today<\/span><\/a> by CNN<\/strong>. Deficiencies of the theatrical model we\u2019ve known for decades are now glaringly apparent, yet the communal experience is always the ultimate experience. How does the industry respond? What might customers expect for their hard-earned money? Will it be enough?<\/p>\n
