THEATRES WILL SURVIVE COVID-19: TOM HANKS

LOS ANGELES: Tom Hanks feels the shift to the streaming world is a due change and says that movie theatres will survive the Covid-19 pandemic. In an interview with Collider, Hanks opened up about the impact of the pandemic on the business, and the shift of many films to release on streaming services, reports variety.com. “A sea change was due, anyway. It was coming,” said Hanks, sharing that the streaming platforms have allowed viewers to watch movies from their homes. “Will movie theatres still exist? Absolutely, they will. In some ways, I think the exhibitors —once they’re up and open —are going to have the freedom of choice of what movies they’re going to play,” he shared .
