The epidemic is far worse than expected. The epidemic in China is now under control, but overseas areas have suffered a huge blow.

The domestic film market has been frozen for more than two months, and just a few days ago, when it was inspired by the resumption of the theater, it was poured down by a basin of cold water. The suspension at the national level means at least half It will not resume work within the month. As for Hollywood, the loss suffered is no less than that at home, and it has reached the most critical moment. In the face of the global crisis, the impact of the film industry is always ahead.

Disney pay cuts for top executives, Liongate layoffs

The film crew stopped filming, the film was changed, and the theater was closed. Hollywood has now copied the mainland market two months ago and cannot move. After the Disney masterpiece “Mulan” was toughened, he finally reluctantly withdrew the whistle and lost a fortune. A large number of blockbuster changes have meant that it will be completely occupied by 2020.

Disney pay cuts and Lions gate layoffs drove next year to become the strongest movie year in history

Forcibly released Pixar’s masterpiece “Magic of 1/2” is completely reduced to cannon fodder. It only made more than 39 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend. At present, the global cumulative total is only 104 million U.S. dollars. Eventually, it will not be able to exceed 200 million U.S. dollars. Pixar’s biggest loss movie. This is the consequence of a positive hard and hard epidemic, enough to see the horrors of the epidemic. Now it has blossomed all over the world, and the film industry is completely stagnant.

Strong as Hollywood is also unable to support. At present, Disney has announced a series of adjustments to combat the epidemic. Bob Chapeck, who has just been promoted to Disney’s CEO, has taken the lead and announced a 50% salary reduction. The former CEO and current executive chairman Robert Iger is even more Voluntarily forgo all salary. Other senior executives have successively cut salaries.

Disney is indeed at the most difficult moment at present, and the US stock market has been blown out in succession, making the valuation evaporate in half instantly. In addition to the above-mentioned “Mulan”, “1/2 of the magic” and other works suffered heavy damage. Disneyland in the United States has just announced the announcement of an indefinite closure, which will undoubtedly make Disney worse.

Disney's executives' salary cuts and Lions Gate's layoffs drove next year into the strongest movie year in history

This is true of even the single-ranked Disney. At this pace, the salary cuts of the executives of other major giants are bound to come. If this rhythm is followed, I am afraid that there will be the possibility of wage cuts and layoffs in the future. Speaking of layoffs, Lionsgate, the Hollywood’s “seventh largest” that created the popular “Hunger Games”, has set an example, and has substantially cut off the distribution and promotion departments. Survive, becoming the only luxury in Hollywood in 2020.

Perhaps this is the most critical time in Hollywood. This kind of persistence and support is already very weak. According to the current state of the United States epidemic, 2020 is likely to be lost for a whole year. Next, more videos are bound to be added to the retreat army, and Warner announced that the blockbuster work of the year and Nolan’s new masterpiece “Creed” will not change on July 17, maybe the face is just A matter of time.

Next year may be the strongest year in Hollywood

For the film industry, there is no good news in front of the epidemic. Relatively speaking, waiting for the end of the epidemic and the arrival of new films has become an expectation of the audience. Under the attack of the epidemic, the film industry is full of scars, but it has inspired the strongest movie year-2021.

Speaking of the strongest in history, 2012, led by “Avengers”, “Batman: The Dark Knight Rises” and so on, is worthy of nominations. The 2015 Jurassic World and Avengers 2 also have competing chips. 2019 is also a big time. But 2021 may really be coming
