And there will be casualties. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCinemas are facing a \u2018Mad Max\u2019\u2013style all-out war that is inflicting on them a dangerously high level of financial pain,\u201d said Eric Schiffer, chief executive and chairman of Patriarch Organization and Reputation Management Consultants.<\/p>\n<p>Cinema revenue is set to experience its sharpest contraction in at least 21 years, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. That\u2019s when the firm first started to publish <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/outlook#\" class=\"icon none\">an annual outlook for the entertainment and media sector. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCinema has taken a big hit this year, and we\u2019re not forecasting revenues to recover to pre-pandemic levels until post-2024,&#8221; PwC principal CJ Bangah told MarketWatch. \u201cThe big theater experience, early access to blockbuster films and nostalgia have all played a role in getting us into seats. But that doesn\u2019t mean cinema won\u2019t face a new level of competition [from] in-home entertainment options. Innovations such as AR and VR plus the strong performance of some movies released direct-to-consumer have challenged common sentiments around how and when we want to engage with cinema content.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot at stake. PwC estimates the global entertainment and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> business is a $2.1 trillion industry that will contract by 5.6% \u2014 or $117.6 billion \u2014 in 2020 alone. With no sign of a vaccine yet in sight, the revenue hit is expected to continue into 2021. <\/p>\n<p>Companies that have had to endure months of closed theaters are feeling the pinch. AMC Entertainment Inc.<br \/>\n        AMC,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/200235402\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-6.34%<\/bg-quote><span>,<\/span><br \/>\n       the biggest cinema operator in the world, warned in a recent regulatory filing that it may run out of cash by year-end or early in 2021.

The Directors Guild of America, the National Association of Theatre Owners and the Motion Picture Association in a joint letter to congressional leaders warned that, without aid, \u201cour country\u2019s beloved movie theaters\u201d could die. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the status quo continues, 69% of small and midsized movie-theater companies will be forced to file for bankruptcy or to close permanently, and 66% of theater jobs will be lost,\u201d said the letter. \u201cOur country cannot afford to lose the social, economic and cultural value that theaters provide.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The letter optimistically requests that Congress redirect unallocated funds from the CARES Act relief bill to cinemas, or enact new policies, such as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bennet.senate.gov\/public\/_cache\/files\/c\/9\/c9ce7e77-dd6a-4d63-b141-0578d3fb37ea\/FA16AE05EF9739E8257DE698FACE3C2E.restart-act.pdf\" class=\"icon none\">the RESTART Act,<\/a> a loan program that would extend PPP loans for longer to give the hardest-hit businesses time to qualify for loan forgiveness. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not gonna happen,\u201d said Schiffer. \u201cIt would be viewed as devastatingly inappropriate to bail out theaters. Instead, they will face the death rattle and have to pick up the pieces. It won\u2019t be the last act of cinema, but it will be brutal.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Steve Spitzer, managing director at restructuring firm AlixPartners, agreed that a bailout is a long shot but said there are ways in which cinemas can generate a regular flow of funds. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCinemas could change their model to a subscription service and ask their customers in the short term to help them bridge the financial gap,\u201d he said. \u201cThey might get consumers willing to spend money today to ensure they are there tomorrow. It could be the customer doesn\u2019t get the benefit now, but the assurance that the service will be there in the future, and they will get some kind of discount.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Smaller, privately held cinemas in New York City have done exactly that with some success, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/10\/27\/movies\/nyc-indie-movie-theaters.html\" class=\"icon none\">according to a New York Times report.<\/a> Others have made films available for streaming on their sites as a way to remain engaged with customers. Some have survived by cobbling together a mix of bank loans, emergency grants, deferred mortgage payments, concessions from landlords and donations. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt a fundamental level, I think people believe the cinema model works, which is why, after being shut down, AMC feels it can go to market and raise money. Investors believe the model is not broken, just disrupted,\u201d said Spitzer.<\/p>\n<p>Still, not all theaters will avoid bankruptcy. That doesn\u2019t necessarily mean they\u2019ll go out of business. \u201cBankruptcy is a tool that could help theater owners restructure their business in a way to reset their capital structure and become more effective,\u201d Spitzer said.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is for a deep-pocketed investor to snap up theaters that become distressed, which could lead to new studio owners. In September, a federal judge in New York\u2019s Southern District <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/federal-court-terminates-paramount-consent-decrees\" class=\"icon none\">terminated the Paramount consent decrees,<\/a> as part of a Justice Department review of legacy antitrust judgments. That piece of legislation came into effect in the 1940s and banned studios from owning the theaters at which their films were shown, as a way to block anti-competitive practices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could imagine a Disney\u00a0buying a chain to offer their own content, not just for the large tentpole films,\u201d said Spitzer. It could also include TV shows, or sporting events that fans might enjoy watching on a big screen, as part of an audience.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon.com Inc.<br \/>\n        AMZN,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/210331248\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-5.44%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n      \u00a0could be a contender, too, given its financial clout and the fact that it already finances films and TV shows for its own streaming service. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a> companies with over-the-top services can afford to drive innovation in the cinema experience, said PwC\u2019s Bangah, and are \u201cpotential acquirers of legacy cinema chains.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Back_to_the_future\"><\/span>Back to the future<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>In many ways, the pandemic has simply accelerated changes that were already happening in the industry, as cinema chains were competing for consumer attention with streaming services and popular video<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s like \u201cFortnite.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The rising popularity of Netflix Inc.<br \/>\n        NFLX,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/202353025\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-5.64%<\/bg-quote><span>,<\/span><br \/>\n       and its resistance to observing the \u201ctheatrical window,\u201d the period during which films are exclusively available in bricks-and-mortar cinemas, was already pressuring the sector and irking Hollywood executives. Studios had become more risk-averse about the kinds of films made, relying more heavily on blockbusters and franchises and the teenage audience that attends them in droves. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven pre-COVID, theaters had so many challenges to their business model, and industry folks believed they would have to bend in some significant manner,\u201d said Marc Simon, a former filmmaker who is now a partner at Fox Rothschild and chairman of the firm\u2019s entertainment law department. \u201cCinemas can introduce an experiential component that you don\u2019t get with streaming, but especially in metro areas that won\u2019t be enough for them to hold on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cinema revenue fell slightly in 2019, with overall box-office receipts down 4.1% from 2018 at just below $10.4 billion. Attendance also fell by about 4.6%, though the decline was offset by higher ticket prices. Still, \u201cthe overall downward trend in attendances must be a concern for cinema owners,\u201d said PwC. Box-office receipts fell off a cliff in March after rising in January and February. Only three major films were released in 2020 ahead of the March lockdown. <\/p>\n<p>The marketplace has also become increasingly concentrated. Walt Disney Co.<br \/>\n        DIS,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/203410047\/composite\" class=\"negative\">-0.23%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n      \u00a0chalked up revenue of $3.8 billion in 2019, thanks to its roster of Marvel films and ownership of the \u201cStar Wars\u201d franchise, more than double the haul of the second-place studio, AT&amp;T Inc.\u2019s<br \/>\n        T,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/203165245\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+0.97%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n      \u00a0Warner Bros., with $1.6 billion. <\/p>\n<p>Even before the pandemic, smaller, independent films were increasingly being financed and shown on streaming services, and that trend is expected to continue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo we need to see a 100-foot-tall Jennifer Aniston chasing a 100-foot-tall Gerard Butler?\u201d asked Anthony Palomba, assistant professor of business administration at the University of Virginia\u2019s Darden School of Business. \u201cWhat\u2019s the relationship between genre and platform? We\u2019ve seen a lot more horror movies debuting on streaming services. Maybe in future they don\u2019t need to be on a big screen. They cost less to make. But if you make a superhero movie, you need everyone to come. Marketing is the biggest cost a movie faces.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>So what can cinemas do to boost attendance? Palomba says they can be much more adventurous in the content they offer, upgrade their menus and beverages offerings, and make seating more comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBinge watching TV is like binge watching long movies \u2014 why not offer the opportunity to see the TV series on the big screen with breaks and intermissions?\u201d he asked. \u201cImagine paying $20 for the chance to see a favorite TV show in plush seating with breaks for food.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Cinemas could rent out their locations for people to gather to watch major sporting events, he said. They could beam popular plays or operas in real time, as some already do. They could encourage more audience participation \u2014 activities that made cult films like \u201cThe Rocky Horror Picture Show\u201d a success and late-night mainstay for years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read now:<\/strong>Netflix not cutting it anymore? Here\u2019s how you can rent out an entire theater for just $5 a person<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncreasingly, companies will have to focus on mastering the intricacies of consumer experience,\u201d said the PwC report. \u201cProviders have to continually figure out ways to delight consumers so they are willing to pay for the delivery of content and services, and must create differentiated experiences if they are to increase subscription charges over time. In many ways, the post\u2013COVID-19 world is already here for [the entertainment and media industry]. The future has been pulled forward. It\u2019s time to embrace it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Still, not everyone expects the post-pandemic world to be so different. <\/p>\n<p>Simon from Fox Rothschild is expecting the basic business to remain the same post-pandemic; auteurs will show their films at festivals, where they may or may not find theaters willing to exhibit them. The studios will continue to make big \u201cevent\u201d films. And the remaining medium-budget films, the rom-coms, dramas and family fare, will quite naturally gravitate to the streamers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce the world returns to normalcy, things will continue, but the issues that were in place prior to the pandemic will be magnified \u2014 things like the position of streamers in the ecosystem, changing viewing habits now that we\u2019ve got used to staying at home. Will it come back as a higher-priced event based on community, more akin to live theater? <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt might. But people have been sounding the death knell for cinema for a long time, and cinema has always survived. The communal experience of going with friends and loved ones to a dark room with a big screen and smell of popcorn is too powerful to die.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by Lina Saigol.<\/em><\/p>\n<div data-layout=\"\n              inline\" data-layout-mobile=\"\" class=\"\n        media-object\n        type-InsetCommentingPromo\n            \n            inline\n  article__inset\n        article__inset--type-InsetCommentingPromo\n            article__inset--inline\n  \"><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Ciara Linnane\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ciara_Linnane\"><\/span>Ciara Linnane<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/news\/story.asp?guid=%7BE0E86072-13B3-11EB-A3B6-8836D039E039%7D&#038;siteid=rss&#038;rss=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;# Why cinema will survive the coronavirus pandemic &#8221; In the end, our emotional attachment to moviegoing will fuel a recovery from 2020\u2019s coronavirus-driven slump Will the cinema-going experience survive the coronavirus pandemic?
