Movie theaters are having trouble with the release dates of new pictures which is very impactful on the companies who build them while planning to re-open for the rest of this uncertain year. 

Premiers have now changed and some events will be held with small gatherings, including the cast and its producing company; others will be held through virtual meetings.

Now, many countries have made health requirements for certain events and have put up signs to symbolize the obligatory rule of wearing a mask.

Productions like “Mulan”, “No Time to Die”, “Batman” and others have been delayed due to  the pandemic, but plan to release in 2021 or early 2022.

Even TV series like “I am Not Okay with This” and “The Society” are cancelled due to this pandemic. 

These shows were cancelled because of budget problems that their studios were facing due to the pandemic.

Most producers as well as directors have been struggling with several production difficulties, in addition to finding ways to premier their movies in a safe and responsible way. 

Lucas Foster, a Hollywood producer, expressed and told The Washington Post his thoughts for the reschedulement and delay of premiers. 

Foster said, “Those of us in the entertainment business are not used to being told ‘no’.”

With these new arrangements, movie theatres follow these protocols in order to keep everyone safe during a movie’s premier.  

The cinematographic industry has been forever changed, but with these new changes the industry will have to adjust in order to success.
