Unsurprising. We’re at the point where currently advertised movies are having their release ‘delayed’ because of the virus. (I’m wonder what that’s going to mean, though - the situation’s only going to get worse, and movies are released in very specific times of year so, what, they’re going to wait a whole year to put out movies scheduled for this year?)
All kinds of events relying on public gatherings won’t be happening for a while. It’s going to be weird, even speaking as someone who hasn’t been to a movie theater in some years…

Dems are really masterminds at getting this hoax off the ground!
(Getting Italy to shut down was their masterstroke, though)

My SO and I were discussing coronavirus, and how people are reacting, and she said, jokingly, “Well, you know it’s not really serious until they close Disneyland.”
We’re boned.

I was there last week. Both parks had normal crowds, no-one particularly concerned (just a few masks). I’m glad they’re doing the responsible thing even though the parks were initially exempted from the state order.

If movie releases are delayed, I imagine movie production is facing even worse delays. So the entire pipeline is moving more slowly. There’s plenty to catch up on.

Good. Disneyland seems to be a good place for diseases to gain a foothold. Measles, anyone?

The only movie productions I’ve heard about being shut down until later involved big crews filming in Italy; unlike theater showings, film production doesn’t generally involve the kind of high-density crowds that are being forbidden right now. Also, the films being released this year have already been filmed, but I suppose any delays that might impact film production in the near future will delay next years films - which would allow this years films to come out at the same time next year.
