India simply cannot afford this kind of culture. Apart from movie theaters - Even work from home culture will result in huge loss for our economy. Use of petrol, cars , bikes, restaurants, eating stalls near offices like vada-pav, idli dosa, chai ki tapri, taxis , autos, buses and what not. Govt earns thousands of crores dailly only on fuel sale itself. Lot of industries / service sector are dependent on each other. They will be severly affected. We have huge population.Originally posted by: kamalsh56
Even after lockdown is lifted there will be social distancing norms in theatres and multiplexes which will make it nonviable as ticket prices may have to double to cover up for less occupancy. Just as single theatres disappeared after multiplexes came up, after covid we may find multiplexes disappear and streaming will be the norm. That's my guess.
