We have all heard the squeals from the UK’s beleaguered film exhibitors. Cinema owners have complained long and hard in recent weeks that there is nothing for them to show. Thanks to Covid, almost every big Hollywood title – from new Bond movie No Time To Die to Marvel’s Black Widow – is postponed until 2021. Cineworld, staggering under a mountain of debt, has closed its doors for the time being, as has Picturehouse, the art house chain that it owns. Many Odeon sites are opening only at weekends. And a quarter of Vue’s cinemas are now shut three days a week.
