Like a video game car controlled by a toddler, Covid-19 has rammed and barrelled into nearly everything. The film industry has been one of those things, and it has been impacted in more than one way. As quarantines and shutdowns forced everyone to their homes, productions across the world screeched to a sudden stop; this will cause release delays for not just months, but years to come.
Of course, it’s not just the productions that have stopped: overnight, nobody was interested in going to a movie theater. This meant that big summer blockbusters got pushed and delayed, as movie studios decided that it would be more profitable to screen movies in front of an audience than in front of no audience (shocker, I know).
