In an announcement today, California Gov. Gavin Newsom deemed movie theaters to be part of a stage 3 opening in the ultimate four-prong easing of COVID-19 at-home restrictions, meaning theyd be able to open months, not weeks in the future.
Movie theaters would be part of phase of higher risk workplaces which require a close proximity to other people, including hair salons, nail salons, gyms, sporting events with live audiences and in-person religious services like churches and weddings.
Movie theaters were allowed to reopen in Georgia on Monday and Texas is permitting cinemas to reopen on May 1, but the major chains are waiting until late June and July, particularly the latter month, when studios begin to book movies in theaters. All eyes and hopes are on July 17 when Warner Bros. plans to open Christopher Nolans Tenet and July 24 when Disney will debut Mulan.
Newsom also said schools could start as early as the end of July or beginning of August due to learning losses. Schools could reopen under staggered dates. They were part of Stage 2 considered to be lower risk workplaces, and included on a list that has childcare facilities, non-essential manufacturing (like furniture, toys), retail business with curbside pickup, and offices where working remotely isnt possible.
The statewide Stay at Home order would be lifted in Stage 4, allowing for concerts, conventions and sporting events with crowds. This phase would require a vaccine or population-level immunity from COVID-19.
Said Newsom, I want to caution everybody, if we pull back too quickly and we walk away from our incredible commitment to not only bend this curve but to stop the spread and suppress the spread of this virus, it could start a second wave that could be even more damaging than the first and undo all of the good work and progress that youve made The virus has not gone away. Its virulence is still as acute. Its ability to be transmitted still is dominant. We by no stretch are out of the woods.
The virus is as transmittable as its ever been It is ubiquitous, it is invisible, and it remains deadly. Ask the 45 families who lost a loved one in the last 48 hours, he said.
Despite the uber-warm spell SoCal has been having with temperatures in the 80s to low 90s over the last few days, Newsom reminded, This virus doesnt take the weekends off. This virus doesnt go home because its a beautiful sunny day around our coasts.
Good. Die, Hollywood, Die!

Gavin, the moronic democrat fascist, will bleed the State dry of productivity, while only slowing the death rate, not stopping it.
Maybe the kid they sent as the bribe was too old.
The true fascist appears to be Gavin.
And what will Western Civilization do without comic book movies?!
I guess I could finish reading that Shakespeare play. The Marvel scripts are far, far superior of course. But whatyagunnado?
Somebody stole that green costume girl’s rear end.
I think all college scholarship players should be able to transfer and play immediately....
Just stream them at home.
Some upscale theaters are now streaming their special releases.
Greusom will open movie theaters as soon as his cameo is done.
Love watching the American people roll over for these gigantic power-grabs.
Sometimes I try to do my workout during Rush but the ads are so long that i quit him and switch to music.

You wont mind if we sell yer stuff on E-bay then? ;)
Why reopen them when “Hollywood” hasn’t made more than a small handful of decent movies in the last 40 years. At least what I consider as decent in the likes of the golden age of the movies in the 30s-60s.
But will it keep them off the beaches? That's a major concern for Gruesome, doncha know?
Here is something to ponder.
You go to the grocery store, purchase items that may have been handled, then check out, put in your card in the card reader, then push the keys to enter your pin.
And? You all sure that if they wipe that card reader off they got it clean?
How about at the gas pumps? Is someone pumping your gas for you? If not, who has handled that handle before you? Card readers on those also.
What about opening the doors at those places if they are not auto doors?
Coins, if you pay cash at store check outs?
Unreal...
Two of my favorites with the Duke.
The Quiet Man, and Donovan’s Reef, especially with Lee Marvin in it.
McClintock was good also.
The western The Searchers also.
Any of them with Victor McLuaghlin, like the Quiet Man.
OK that’s four..
You ought to see what Victor McLaughlin said about Democrats. Maybe that is why he and the Duke played in so many movies together.
That is..Victor McLaglen..
The statewide Stay at Home order would be lifted in Stage 4, allowing for concerts, conventions and sporting events with crowds. This phase would require a vaccine or population-level immunity from COVID-19.
