All his films have the same boring, dry ass gray colouring. He should be least worried about reduced post production, it's not as if there will be a ton of spectacular effects or vistas. This is the person who managed to make a movie about going into dreams look boring apart from that one shot of the city folding.

Re: COVID-19 and box office
There are many more things in a production other than color scheme. His movies have a TON of special effects even if (arguably) they are not spectacular. Interstellar, Dunkirk, TDKR, Inception and TDK his last 5 movies have had good/great graphics. Also if the end product is boring that has got nothing to do with post-production and the work behind it.

Re: COVID-19 and box office
83 million Americans live in states where movie theaters could theoretically reopen (likely with reduced seating). Could this mark a partial return of the US boxoffice?

Random question: Mau - What's your favorite boxoffice run? The Dark Knight. I don't think theaters would be eager to open without movie releases for the next month and a half. and I don't think studios will risk opening films there.

Re: COVID-19 and box office
Studios would have to be willing to release movies. And without the entire country, especially NY/CA, it ain't happening.

Re: COVID-19 and box office
Theaters opening in more rural parts of the country with limited seating and without any new big films to show might hurt them more financially than remaining closed.

Re: COVID-19 and box office
I’m certain we will see a number of smaller theaters reopen sooner than later. There is already one somewhere playing Back to the Future. Lol There are varying degrees of self-quarantining depending on where you are in the country. There’s a push I feel, in many parts, to get back to normal while taking precautions. I say this without passing any judgment. The major chains due to the lack of a major product will stay shuttered but by the end of May I predict we’ll see a number of smaller theaters operating. It might be only classics they’re playing.

Re: COVID-19 and box office
I am guessing people will go out to anything at this point just to have an outing. Maybe studios can send a few re-release of movies that didn't do well

Re: COVID-19 and box office
Remdesivir clinical trials said it works!!! 11days in critical care vs 17 against placebo.
That's how you do research. Not jump into whatever your president says. has anyone checked how many bottles of lysol Zwackerm injected himself with?

Re: COVID-19 and box office
Here's an article written about 45 days ago regarding Remdesivir: https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/16/rem ... ronavirus/Seems most researchers knew this was the drug, but obviously knew trials needed to be done. TRUMP EVEN KNEW ABOUT IT. And he STILL pushed hydroxychloroquine.

Re: COVID-19 and box office
I'm not seeing any more evidence in favor of Remdesivir than there was hydroxychloroquine. Remdesivir is an experimental drug making it less safe than hydroxychloroquine which has been in use for decades.
Pharma companies are going to want Remdesivir pushed more because it's expensive and patented.

Re: COVID-19 and box office
Quote: Fauci said a U.S. federal trial showed 'proof of concept' Early results released Wednesday from the global study conducted by the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases found patients who received remdesivir had a 31% faster recovery time than those who received a placebo.
While not a "knock out," NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci said at an Oval Office meeting Wednesday the study results were "a very important proof of concept."
The NIAID study involved 1,063 hospitalized COVID-19 patients whose lungs were affected. A subset of about half those patients who got remdisivir had a median recovery time of 11 days while patients who got a placebo had a median recovery time of 15 days. Recovery was defined as being well enough to be discharged from the hospital or able to return to normal levels of activity.
The patients given remdesivir also had a lower mortality rate – 8% of them died compared with 11.6% of the placebo group. But researchers said we don't have enough data to know if that number is statistically significant. We're aware how trials work, shack.

Re: COVID-19 and box office
New York state's COVID-19-related deaths and confirmed new positives have come down quite a bit from its peak. That's not the case outside of NY though.
From my daily gllancing at the data at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/, PA, NJ, and IN have had noticeably higher death tolls in recent days. Not sure about the reasons.

Re: COVID-19 and box office
Well, according to a double blind clinical trial..... Remdesivir doesn't work. More patients more adverse effects.
So no. REMDESIVIR DOESN'T WORK

Re: COVID-19 and box office
The curves are flat (overall, lots of states still increasing), but not dropping. Doesn't breed confidence.
Also, Russia not doing great.

Re: COVID-19 and box office
Anyone can get tested in San Diego now, so that's good. Hopefully it'll be like that everywhere so #s are more accurate in showing what's actually going on.
I want to take an antibody test but it doesn't seem like there's reliable one yet.
