On March 16th, having seemingly contained domestic cases of the Coronavirus, China reopened its first cinema. In the following days this was followed by over 500 more, all of which were away from busy cities, and all of which showed a limited range of films including Green Book and the first Harry Potter.
Despite being open for the first time in two months the total take from these cinemas as of March 23rd was £1,725. If these small earnings communicate an apprehension about attending screenings, then any fears were validated when, on March 27th, China’s Film Bureau once again ordered the closure of all cinemas.
