This is what we are going to learn, isn't it ? We did not have a chance to get a good data on what's the impact of cinemas on spreading of the virus and TENET is the first real test. Logically, cinema still seem to be a safer environment then a restaurant, shopping malls or public transport and probably as safe as a church.
I myself am feeling very comfortable with the idea of watching NTTD in the cinema in November and I absolutely will be watching it in the cinema on the first day come what may (I'm positive that it will be all be fine).
Everyone who wants to save the film for later, stay safe and take care. Everyone who wants to go to the cinema to see it, enjoy! 😃
Not to be an ass but I feel like this line of thinking is what has so many of us taking the virus very seriously (at least here in the US) so frustrated. We all stay home and try to limit risky behavior and those that go out and "feel safe" are inevitably the ones that keep spreading the virus and continuing the problem. It's not really an individual choice issue, it's the collective failure (again speaking as a US citizen, I understand the situation in other countries is different) that has made this so depressing. I want to see NTTD in the cinemas as much as anyone, and the best way to make that possible is NOT participate in risky behavior until numbers are down. A catch-22, I know, but this is a mental hurdle the US population has failed to clear.
Completely agree 1000%. I feel this way as I see my friends going to large, crowded parties while I'm at home because THEY feel like it's safe and they're assuming their own level of risk...it's not about you!! The U.S. is gonna be dealing with this for years I fear. People here are so selfish. Our idiot president and politicized, mixed messaging from our expert class has made matter far worse. MASSIVE protests not only allowed but encouraged. Not just protests but huge block parties with DJ's in D.C. and NYC, massive politicized funerals while we're told we can't have our own funerals for our loved ones. It's a mess.
- going to a party: risky
- going to a restaurant: risky
- public transport: risky
- travelling a lot: risky
Why? Because there are lots of people chatting, moving around etc.
- cinema, theatre, classical concert house: less risky
Why? Because less talking, less moving around, good AC, bringing in fresh air at a high rate.
Here in Germany most of the new cases come from people coming back from a holiday abroad (almost 40% of the cases), big family celebrations, parties, restaurants, slaughterhouses and similar companies.
But there has not been one case on the media where someone spread the virus during a movie screening. And remember: cinemas are open since May here.
The media would have made a huge story out it, if several people got corona after being at the same movie screening.
But everyday we read about outbreaks in restaurants, at parties, on holiday, at schools etc.
It’s a cult, not a religion. Given the info of what he’s been up to with that cult... yeah, I think he’s a pretty crappy human being.
That said, he’s a great movie star. That can’t be taken away from him. As awkward as it is to watch other stars like Kevin Spacey and John Wayne knowing their personal stuff, they still command the screen like few others can.
It IS possible to appreciate their works and still think they’re terrible people.
Yup, as someone who have read about him and the cult he is associated with, you are right. He is very professional, nonetheless.
Does anyone think on that figure NTTD will certainly be released in November or is it too early to say ?
Going abroad for a holiday (airports in both directions, traveling in both directions and moving around in another country) monumentally risky. I don't have any sympathy for people on holiday abroad at the moment who are complaining about quarantine requirements once they arrive home when they consciously decided to travel abroad for a holiday during a pandemic.
Cinema: Far, far less risky in comparison.
Given that right now there's nothing that really interest me (apart from The Producers, and I'm not sure it hasn't been postponed, I think I'll pass.
As nothing interest me right now (both The Lion King and The Producers have been postponed till next year), I'll pass, thanks.
I did not mean to imply that you were not being responsible in your everyday life and I am sorry to hear about your great aunt. My point wasn't about whether or not cinemas pose a higher risk than other activities like traveling or partying though, I get that it's a different level of risk. I was only trying to express frustration at the notion that it should be left up to individual comfort with returning to the cinema, especially in areas (like the US) that have not contained the virus at all.
Of course if you live in a country where cases and positivity rate is well under control (like Germany) going to a cinema is probably fine, and won't lead to massive outbreak. I think last time I saw Germany's positivity rate is less than 1%. But in America that is not the case, and is unlikely to be the case in late November. And if massive amounts of people flood the cinemas this Friday to see Tenet here, especially in areas of the country that are out of control in terms of containing the virus, I feel like it very well could lead to spread (I'm not a doctor, but spending 3 hours in a contained space with dozens of strangers doesn't seem like a great idea in areas where positivity rates are north of 10%). And I get that the US is not where most people on this forum live, but the idea that "it's up to the individual's tolerance for risk" is a huge issue here.
Again, I want to see NTTD in cinemas as much as anyone. And if America fucks up it shouldn't mean that more responsible countries should have to wait for us to catch up. But I think the Tenet thing (in America) is yet to prove that cinemas are safe here.
I agree, as well. Our numbers here in AZ are steadily decreasing, as restaurants are remaining open but are being far smarter about distancing and sanitizing, than they were in early June. I have even ventured out to eat and felt quite safe.
I don't know how they think that number is satisfactory for Craig's final outing. It will always have to have the asterisk that says "This was released during a pandemic, so this number is good, really it is". As others on social media have commented, while today's tweet revealing the new poster says November 2020, the actual poster just says November. Not exactly a message of confidence.
Encouraging
If you squint really closely, there's a fine print under the November that says "2022."
To be fair I've just turned my head to look at my Skyfall poster on my wall and it just says 'October' it doesn't say 'October 2012'.
Studio. And yes, there could be a good chance if they feel there’s more money to be made.
Many film's have done that in the past, when we are over all this, they might re-release many film's including NTTD.
Only if it’s good. CR and SF get rereleased all the time anyway with cool stuff like a live orchestra. It’s because people love them and they are critical darlings. If people are very mixed on NTTD they’re probably won’t be a rerelease. However if it’s mostly considered good, because of Corona I would expect when it’s gone there would be a rerelease.
