On Saturday, March 28th, Parkway Studios, which is located in the Kerry Center, Jing’an Temple, the core business district of Shanghai, will soon resume operations. I wonder if there is still a little lack of confidence, and consumers will be greeted by re-screening movies such as “Wandering Earth”, “War Wolf 2”, “Why Home” and “Chinese Partner”.
There are 204 other theaters in Shanghai resuming the market together with Broadway Cinemas this Saturday. As of March 25, eight theaters in Shanghai have opened stores and are currently operating in segments.
At least 20 movies have been brought to a standstill since the outbreak. The films “Aunt”, “Fat Dragon Crossing the River” and “Big Winner” have decisively taken a different approach, and have successively logged on the Internet video platform to meet the audience in advance and free of charge.
After the epidemic, whether to choose “online” or “offline” for new films has become a multiple choice question before the release of movies.
The return rate of Shencheng Cinema is only 2%
Compared with the bustling crowd on the street, the lively movie theaters of the past are no longer popular. Against the dim light, the movie theater was particularly deserted. On March 24, “IT Times” reporters visited three home theaters in Putuo District. Wanmian Film, Starlight Studio and Linjia Theater on Changshou Road did not open.
Went into Wanmu Studios, the hall of several hundred square meters was empty. The doors of the auditorium are mostly open, and the words at the door indicate that the door is being ventilated. “We haven’t heard of the return of the cinema.” The staff at the front desk of the mall where Wanmo Films is located told reporters.
The situation in Starlight Studios is similar. Central shopping mallThe poster on the column has been affixed with a large poster stating that “Starlight Studios is normally open”, but the elevator to the 4th floor of the studio has been suspended.

The entire Starlight Studios is dark. In the lobby of the Linjia Theater, the poster of “Aunt” is still in the most prominent position, and the posters of “Ginger Ziya” and “Chinatown Detective 3”, which have also been withdrawn, are helplessly lined up.

“IT Times” reporters also made official phone calls to nearly 10 movie studios in Shanghai, and most of them were left unanswered.
The manager of the lobby of Baimeihui Studios told reporters that the store’s opening date is set on Saturday (March 28) , After business hours are adjusted from 1 pm to 9 pm. “At present, our main job is to debug the equipment.” The person said.
In order to prevent and control the epidemic situation, B & B Studios will only open 3 screening halls after the opening. The number of movie screenings per day will not exceed 15 and the seating arrangements will be arranged next to each other.
