{Crossposting this in the NTTD production forum too.}
I don't believe that. But let's blame the WHO. ;)
I think that is way too early to tell/be decided, but I believe there is a strong possibility that no new movies will be released (except Netflix/Amazon films) until 2021. Meaning everything from Black Widow, Wonder Woman 1984, Tenet, Dune, A Quiet Place 2, No Time To Die, Top Gun 2, etc would be delayed to next year.
I suspect cinemas may stay closed until a vaccine arrives unless they adopt stringent social distancing measures which will still have an adverse affect on box office.
Unless we really want to risk a second wave of the outbreak, many cultural/sporting/non-essential sectors of the economy will have to remain closed at least until the end of 2020/early 2021. That would mean no movies or any kind of big sporting events anywhere for the rest of the year, bar esports events and movies released on Blu-Ray/VOD/streaming.
Some lockdowns in Europe will be eased-off in early/mid May, so we'll have a clearer picture by then of just how much of the economy will have to remain closed to avoid a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. I would also not rule out a second period of world-wide lockdowns in the last few months of 2020.
That's exactly it.
Yesterday, the mayors of America's biggest cities, New York & Los Angeles, were more or less laying the groundwork for slow, gradual, phased reopenings of businesses there.
L.A.'s mayor said that businesses that engender large communal gatherings of customers -- festivals, concerts, sporting events, conventions, and cinemas -- would be dead last in any phased reopening.
I am very worried that the U.S. is going to cause the second wave of the outbreak. There seems to be no end in sight given how narrow-minded politicians are handling the situation, focused only on the short-term.
I don't know anything about the mayor of L.A., but Bill de Blasio -- the mayor of NYC -- is a clown and doesn't know what he's doing, frequently making claims that clash with the state governor's intended directives.
As Gov. Cuomo has said for the last few days during his press conferences, the process of re-opening (from the sounds of it, still a long way off) will ultimately be decided by Cuomo and a coalition of governors from the New York Tri-State area and beyond (Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, etc). Even Trump, after making stupid and unconstitutional remarks to the press about how he had "total control" of re-opening, finally conceded to Cuomo and the other governors.
So de Blasio better get his act together and stop shooting his mouth off, because, combined with Trump's garbage, it's become scary and confusing to New Yorkers.
Another 5.5 million US citizens have filed for unemployment benefits this past week. There is now a total of nearly 22 million jobs lost in the United States in the last month. This is nearly 32 times than the previous highest unemployment rate in U.S. history (695,000 jobless citizens in 1982).

If the current death rate does not slow down, we will reach 200,000 deaths by next Friday, 14 days after reaching 100,000 deaths. It took 92 days to go from 1 fatality to 100,000 fatalities.
EDIT: The USA now has the sad distinction of being the only country above 30,000 deaths from coronavirus.
Now-now-now, folks... we're getting too close to political commentary. Can't have that now, can we?
And again. Don't we all know that political commentary is verboten here?
Sorry, just a bit of snark. My apologies. But in all honesty, it seems to me that it's impossible to really discuss this topic without the political element being present to some small degree. Case in point: the great state of Michigan, where right-wing protestors are willing to blockade hospitals and roadways in general in order to urge their governor to lift that state's shelter-in-place order. As much as I'd like for the medical professionals to have charge of this issue, that just isn't likely to be the case for very long. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/04/16/michigan-whitmer-conservatives-protest/
We're going to see a lot of upward revisions as health officials take note of the higher than average mortality rates over the last few weeks not being accounted for with official hospital death counts, as evidenced by this chart from Ed Conway:
Yes, there are obviously political elements too the Corona virus. But it’s not something that can be discussed rationally or sensibly.
So yes politics and Corona virus are something that will obvious happen together.
But I have stressed over and over, that this thread is not going to become yet another slanging match as too why Trump, or Boris or whoever are doing us all wrong.
It would be appreciated if we could let this go.
Ah, don't mind me. I just like to tease some times. And I can't understand why anybody would think that blockading a hospital's emergency entrance is going to help the situation.

And somehow not at all non-political... ;)
I still say Coronavirus and Politics are inextricably linked. It may be first and foremost a health issue, but the reason we're still discussing Coronavirus at all is due to politics. It's a fools errand to create one thread for Politics, and hope that all political discussion fits into it all neat and tidy.
Yup. Which sucks for us as well, given how linked we are. Maybe we can take Britain's spot in the EU. ;)
2/3 of the current government are from M5S, which was worth a 10/12% in the last European elections...
This quote comes to mind:
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
-Issac Asimov, 1980
….not as political as Linda Thorson's twitter page, but......
In the graphic on the lower right hand, the yellow headline means "transmission delay, see disclaimer" (at the bottom). After a weekend, the new numbers are added (yellow), but they do not necessarily belong to that date. Last week was Easter Weekend with four non-working days (for most people) in a row, and it was to be expected that numbers after that would rise. They're still down an average of 38 per cent over the previous week, see https://spiegel.de/ daily, somewhere a bit down the start page. And yes, I am also skeptical what will happen to those figures with further relaxation, but we'll see.
