There will be, but with the other coronaviruses, such as the flu, we still get tens of millions of people sick with the flu even with vaccines.

Good point. They never keep their promises.

TBH, they are so lacking in creativity that now we get remakes of remakes.

What they did for HIV was to shakedown the Federal Gov for Billions.
Make no mistake, this is all about defeating Trump and pouring billions more into donors pockets.

The porn industry could stop production today and who would know?

They will probably generate more.

I’d never notice.

Last two shows I’ve been watching were g
foreign. One Japanese, the other French.

I can’t recall the last time we watched anything produced in the US.

I have so many friends in Hollywood and they are done if they take this approach

There will never be a vaccine before this virus burns out....and then we will be on to whatever the next Panda-pandemic is from the CCP

Well, they apparently aren’t smart enough to figure out that movies & TV shows are being made in other countries, indie studios, places like Georgia and Texas,and even on computers with CGI actors and completely synthesized voices and music.

The airline & hotel industries got murdered by this virus. If Hollywood dies (we won’t be that lucky, folks), it will be from suicide. Any entertainment production outfits better have their s-—t together pronto with new material or they are history. Re-runs aren’t gonna make it too much longer.

I suspect a lot of non-union production outfits and non-SAG member talent are gonna start cranking out something besides fresh porn in another few weeks.

"Of course they will just relocate production to other areas after a bit."

They have been relocating production for years due to unions, regulations, and other high costs in California. Georgia has become especially attractive to production companies with their tax incentives and dedicated Film Commission.

It seems like every third recent movie I watch is shot in Georgia. Then you have Canada and other off-shore nations providing incentives. I watch the ending credits and just saw a movie (forget) that all the production staff had foreign surnames.

Many countries have been building state of art studios for years. England being first and many others after. Hollywood brought this on themselves. Sorry for the low-level production folks, but they also get hired for Georgia productions. Watch the credits. The very end say where the film was shot.

Only a very few mentally challenged people actually care what Hollywood says or does. Unfortunately that includes most of the Media.

If the upcoming openings backfire, producing many deaths, I wouldn’t be surprised if other businesses/industries adopt similar plans.

This virus may have many silver-linings.

It may very well bankrupt systems that have become highly rigid, ideological, corrupt and resistant to change.

This will include one-party states with entrenched bloated bureaucracies like Illinois and New York, or it may include things like “Hollywood.” (Throw California, Oregone and Washington into this worthless blue state POS collection.)

Think of it as “Cloward Piven,” but for conservatives.

Filthy Communist China controls most of it now. Ban all Communist Chinese financing, ownership or co-productions.

See my tagline re your comments/

Some films have been produced and filmed in Texas as well.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the bribes state and local governments have been offering Hollyweird to film in their states and cities. Money may be drying up, so Hollyweird may be waiting to see if the gravy train will start flowing again. But they can’t very well say that out loud, wouldn’t go over well, so they’re playing the WuFlu card.
