Sadly, the movie theater business is in for a world of hurt. Other than maybe cruises, I can’t think of a business that’s likely going to be hit as hard. On the one hand, you have politicians legally prohibiting movie theaters from operating. Who knows how long that will last in some places? And even when they are allowed to re-open, I can’t see their audience rushing back. Even if this virus were totally eradicated in a few months (which is probably unlikely), a lot of people are going to be newly comfortable with the myriad streaming options they’ve become all too familiar with over the past month.
Restaurants are probably hit even harder than cinemas.

Airlines. Bars and restaurants. Barbers. Taxis and buses. Gyms.
