Other sources will wait for the reinstatement guide in Hunan Province to come out before making a decision.
Box office analyst Luo Tianwen believes that the notice of gradual resumption of work will undoubtedly give the Chinese film industry a long-term suspension. However, many specific rules need to be further discussed and gradually clarified. For example, the attendance rate in the notice rules should not exceed 30. %, this has a negligible impact on the Mainland’s movie market from July to September, because “(the initial stage of theater resumption) is mainly staged by reruns, existing films, and small and medium-sized movies, even if it’s a golden field. It is still difficult to exceed 50%." Only wait for the audience to gradually restore confidence in the cinema. In addition, the requirement that the length of a movie should not exceed 2 hours and the schedule should be reduced to half of normal is undoubtedly very challenging for many new films at home and abroad, and how to determine the new schedule of the film needs further discussion.
