Coronavirus: Analysts Predict Box Office Will Drop 52%

Due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, analysts predict it will have a dramatic impact on box office revenue.

According to a study from research company MoffettNathanson and first reported by Variety, revenues from ticket sales will be cut in half in comparison to 2019. The analysts see numbers dropping from $11.4 billion in 2019 to $5.5 billion in 2020. That’s a 52% plunge, and it’s a drop that could be even steeper if cinemas don’t reopen in July.

Moreover, if summer hit movies such as John David Washington’s “Tenet” and “Mulan” are supposed to debut that month get delayed, those numbers could be even worse.

Wall Street Analysts predict it could be hard for studios behind those expensively made movies to continue if significant markets do not reopen their movie theaters.

“Given the uncertainty around the key questions we mention above, including sticking to July release dates, when key markets reopen and willingness of movie-goers to return before a vaccine, our estimates today are very much a work in process with lots of volatility in the months ahead,” the note’s authors report.

Analysts see a significant return to revenue in 2021 to $9.7 billion, which will include a “stronger release slate.” That said, they know this number could also plummet if film production cannot resume safely, or if studios continue to release movies on streaming platforms.

Since the Coronavirus pandemic, studios have tried several strategies to release content, including airing their content on their streaming platforms. Case in point, HBOMax released “Scoob,” and Disney Plus released “Hamilton.” Other studios such as Universal have put their movies-on-demand instead of delaying the movie’s release date.

“In the past, exhibitors have been able to stand their ground; however, we again think this time is different in that all of the major studios (including now Disney for certain movies) are likely to be more aggressive with windowing strategies,” the note reads. “As long as multiple studios push forward with PVOD or some other form of window changes, the balance of power in favor of studios shifts even more in their favor and reduce the leverage the exhibitors have as they would be unlikely to boycott multiple studios’ upcoming releases.”

Jimmy Fallon Gives Emotional Apology After Blackface Controversy (VIDEO)

Jimmy Fallon delivers an emotional apology after the blackface controversy.

A ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketch from 2000 featuring Jimmy Fallon wearing blackface makeup and impersonating Chris Rock recently went viral, sparking outrage. Despite being advised to not discuss the issue, Fallon tweeted an apology last week.

“I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable.”

‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ returned on Monday after being off the air last week and doubled down on his apology and promised to be a better ally.

During his opening monologue, Fallon addressed the blackface sketch saying, “I am not a racist.” But, he did admit to being “silent” in the past during acts of racial injustice.

The incident comes during the time the nation is dealing with systemic police brutality. Protests and riots have sparked across the country after the death of George Floyd.

“The world is screaming and it is angry and we all need to figure out a way to take the anger, which of course is just sadness and fear, and do something with it,” said Fallon. “This is such a long root in the ground it is so long and deep, but we got to get in there and we have to dig it up.”

Lady Gaga was supposed to appear on the show. However, Fallon spoke with leaders and activists in the black community. Civil rights activist Jane Elliott, CNN host Don Lemon and NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson all offered advice people can help the black community.

“That was powerful, but most importantly it’s about courage,” said Johnson, responding to Fallon’s apology. “In this time of many people searching for answers and just the display of anger and hopelessness and wandering more people need to speak about where they are with a really authentic voice.”

Why Celebs are Posting Black Squares on Instagram Today

Here’s why people are sharing black squares on social media today.

Your social media timeline may have changed. On Tuesday, instead of selfies and memes, you may notice people posting a black square with the hashtag #TheShowMustBePaused.

The black photos are part of a movement called Blackout Tuesday, which was created by two female Black women executives, Jamila Thomas and Brianna Agyemang.

“In response to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and countless other Black citizens at the hands of the police, #TheShowMustBePaused is an initiative created … in observance of the long-standing racism and inequality that exists from the boardroom to the boulevard,” a statement on the movement’s website explains. “We will not continue to conduct business as usual without regard for Black lives.”

BLACK LIVES MATTER.

A post shared by Kylie ? (@kyliejenner) on

It was deliberate to choose Tuesday, June 2nd as it “intentionally (disrupts) the work week. Monday suggests a long weekend and we can’t wait until Friday for change. It is a day to take a beat for an honest, reflective and productive conversation about what actions we need to collectively take to support the Black community.”

“This is not just a 24-hour initiative. We are and will be in this fight for the long haul. We are tired and can’t change things along.”

To participate, the founders suggest people who have been “impacted by recent events … take a break — there is a lot going on and sometimes we all just need a minute. Take that minute.”

They also suggest donating to relevant causes and researching anti-racism information.

Other platforms including Spotify are spreading the message. The music platform is adding to select playlists an 8-minute, 46 second track of silence, which is the amount of time a Minneapolis police officer placed his knee on George Floyd’s neck.

Supporters of Blackout Tuesday are encouraging participants to use #TheShowMustBePaused, as the founders originally specified, and #BlackoutTuesday and not #BlackLivesMatter hashtag. The goal is to allow people to access important information about the group and by using #BlackLivesMatter hashtag you could indirectly silence African American voices addressing the issues on the platforms.


In relevant news, following the death of George Floyd, a video with Denzel Washington helping a man with a police encounter is going viral and fans are calling the actor a real-life superhero.

On May 22, TMZ reported Washington stopped and helped a homeless man who was “in some peril with oncoming traffic.”

Video footage of the incident shows Denzel Washington comforting the man and waiting with the man during an encounter with police.

TMZ reported the man was “detained — not sure why but possibly to make sure he was okay — then released.”

John David Washington on Why He Became an Actor, and Not Telling His Dad Denzel Washington

John David Washington did not get help from his A-list star Dad, Denzel Washington, to get into the film industry.

According to reports, John David Washington kept his aspirations a secret from his father until he was cast in his first role.

The “Tenet” actor, 35, revealed in an Esquire interview, he decided to move from football to acting and only told his mother, Pauletta Washington, he was auditioning. He landed his first role on HBO’s “Ballers”.

“There was disbelief,” John David told the magazine of his dad’s reaction. He “kept asking questions like ‘For HBO? Like Home Box Office Entertainment? Who? Really? But what’s it called? The Rock?’ He just kept asking questions like ‘Is this real?’ I guess he had to check it with his agents to make sure it was real, and he was happy for me, and then he said exactly what I was going to do anyway, but ‘As soon as this is over, you gotta go learn. You gotta go learn how to do this.'”

John David Washington tore his Achilles in 2013 and knew his football days were over. He had worked on the practice team for the St. Louis Rams and played for NFL Europe. While recovering from surgery and unsure what to do next, that’s when he got a call from a family friend Andrew Finkelstein, said the casting director Shelia Jaffe was now casting principal roles for an HBO show about professional football players.

“Now, granted, I’m on a heavy medication,” Washington recalled. “I’m feeling very, very loosey-goosey, if you will. I don’t feel the most confident. I’m pretty flammable at this point. I just felt very exposed. And he sends the script and I read it, and I’m like, well, ‘This is cool.'”

David Washington decided if he was going to become an actor, he was going to respect the profession and start by studying the art of acting. Finkelstein decided to set up an audition, saying it would help him get used to the constant rejection that comes from acting, and then sign the actor up for acting classes.

After several auditions, he landed the role of Ricky Jerret on “Ballers”. It was not until after landing the part he told his dad.

John David Washington started taking acting classes at HB Studio. He explained that he took beginner classes got help from a family friend, veteran actor Stephen McKinley Henderson. Henderson told Esquire Denzel wanted to know his son’s progress.

“‘Well, how’s it going, man? How’s it going? Does the guy got any chops? … I don’t want to encourage him if he. .'” Henderson recalled Denzel asking. “I said, ‘Well, man, I’ve got to tell you, he’s got some chops. He does. He definitely does.’ John David understood acting is not so much pretending as really doing and really being there with the other person. When he got it philosophically, he was off to the races. That was it. He was off to the races.”

John David has landed other major acting roles, including in Spike Lee’s 2018 movie “BlackKklansman” and he earned Golden Globe and Screen Actos Guild Award nominations. He currently stars opposite Robert Pattinson in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming major feature film “Tenet”.
