If you don’t know, the major Hollywood studios take just an insane cut of the first weekend profits for every blockbuster. This hyperbolic ticklefest between Universal and AMC is silly, but also incredibly important for local chains. And you do not want to further confuse a drama major.
#QUASAR DRIVE IN VALLEY NE MOVIE#
Weirdly, movies need to have movie theaters in order to make the most money, while movie theaters need to have movies in order to avoid becoming just “theaters,” which would confuse drama majors. This prompted some execs to say “Hey, maybe we don’t need theaters!” This prompted theaters to say “Oh yeah, maybe we don’t need movies!” Allegedly, the decision to release the animated sequel on home video was profitable. If you didn’t see the verbal slapfight between AMC Theaters and Universal Studios, welcome to the even more hellish part of this breakdown because now I have to talk about Trolls World Tour. I never thought being in a car in Omaha would represent safety, but here we are. It helps get us safely out of the house, at least. It helps simulate partaking in a communal artistic experience. It helps keep the struggling theaters in some small way. Does this scratch the same itch as actually sharing a film with an audience in a theater? Nah.
#QUASAR DRIVE IN VALLEY NE SERIES#
Falconwood Park is starting up a drive-in movie series again too. Douglas County will get another drive-in theater this summer the Quasar Drive-In Theater will be located at Highway 36 and 300th Street, near US Highway 275 between Fremont and Valley. Without them, I will turn to dust faster than a Thanos snap.Ĭan I get a “honk honk,” because at least cars are safe! Twin Creek Cinema has started offering drive-in, parking lot movies. I believe the majority of the caloric intake in my lifetime is owed to butter and salt. Aksarben Cinema and Marcus Theaters have done-and will hopefully keep doing-periodic sales of their theater popcorn. If anything tells you how dire the situation is, it’s that a phrase like “ some of the proceeds” is being used to describe the best-case scenario. In the short term, unlike Leonardo DiCaprio in ice cold water, local theaters are doing everything they reasonably can to stay afloat.įilm Streams and Alamo Drafthouse have both launched streaming portals where you can rent films, with some of the proceeds going to the theaters. Again, I’m not a scientist, I just read them. One asymptomatic infected person in a movie theater can cause literally every other person in that theater to become ill. But it is what has to happen so that the places I love most in this world do not become tiny boxes of death. Nobody is saying this, but it is the truth. Theaters are closed until there’s a vaccine. But that Wuhan study I mentioned featured a situation that would be better than the most ideal of circumstances for any theater.
Would cutting down on occupancy help? Sure. But movie theaters make most of their money on concessions, which you cannot eat with a mask on, the last time I checked. Movie theaters are nothing but sealed areas where mouth breathers sit for several hours. The length of time from March 6 until you read this is the longest I have ever gone without setting foot in a theater since I was a child. It is, as the CDC also does not say, “stinking thinking” to attempt such a thing. Nobody-and I mean nobody-thinks that gathering a bunch of us mouth-breathing yahoos in a sealed area for several hours is a good plan. Let’s set aside the fact that contagion mechanisms have somehow become a partisan issue. Although the facts are somewhat less clear, the “super spreader” event that happened with a choir also backs up the idea that being in a room with a bunch of people for a long period of time is “hella bad.” The CDC did not use the term “hella bad,” but maybe more people would wear masks if they did.
A study out of Wuhan found that poor ventilation and close proximity in a closed environment caused a major spread of coronavirus. That’s nice, right? I would also suggest we look towards the published scientific evidence. Mister Rogers told us to “look for the helpers” in a crisis.
