Director Patty Jenkins and actress Gal Gadot on the set of Wonder Woman -

Will spectators stop going to the cinema even if the Covid-19 pandemic subsides?

That's what Patty Jenkins seems to think.

The

director

gave a very pessimistic analysis of the situation in an interview with Reuters.

And according to her, it is quite simply the cinema which is currently in danger.

“If we continue to close (the theaters), the process will not be reversible.

It's possible that people will lose the habit of going to the movies forever, ”she explained.

The filmmaker is one of the big names in the industry to have asked the US government for financial support for the entire film industry.

Hard to recover

While cinemas have reopened around the world, the situation remains particularly dire in the United Kingdom and the United States, says Patty Jenkins.

"I don't think anyone wants to live in a world where the only option is to take your kids to see a movie in your living room, and have no place to hang out on a date." , explained the director.

The next

, also directed by Patty Jenkins, will not be released directly in streaming, as some blockbusters have resolved to do (like

, Disney), and has had its release date postponed, from June to December 2020. "I hope we can be among the first to come back to theaters and bring that into people's lives," concluded the director.
