Will the Major Studios take a bath?

What happens to Major Studio stocks/profits if they close theaters because of the flu? With all the summer blockbusters coming out will the studios take a financial hit to big to survive?
TOPICS: Business/Economy; TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: blockbusters; pandemic; summerboxoffice

The travel industry is gonna start crying for a bailout.

won’t really weep that hard that the hollywood libs take it on the chin. Will feel more sorry for the small conservative businessmen and women who count on the libs for work.

Hopefully a good long hot soapy bath . . . to remove the decades of poor hygiene and filth

A whole bunch of studios went out of business in 1918 because of the flu back then. It can happen again. The only winner this time will be —TV cable where people can watch at home.

Their products stinks.. They deserve a bath.

Luckily, most youngsters that go to the movies these days haven’t seen the theater scene in the movie “Outbreak”.

Purell doesn’t kill viruses. Viraguard and you have to watch the mask, not all are the same.

Purell doesn’t kill viruses. Purell is like 120 proof. Ethanol kills many viruses. Travelers might be better protected if they drank a lot of hard liquor.

Dr. Tichners is as good or better for healing, but don't drink it, it's rumored the Clintoon mafia would kill people by forcing them to drink it. But in moderation it's a miracle curative.
Btw - check out Dave's Farm on Youtube , much more entertaining than anything Hollywood will ever do.
