My wife's friend in Scotland who is otherwise super careful got Covid from going to the cinema last week.

So that's that on that for me for the next year and a half.

Awful. Do you know how big the theatre was, how many people were affected altogether?

I don't know if they do that kind of data.

On the Rocks was disappointing.

It's a shame Rebecca looks dull but I think the posts regarding it will be crack.

wish there was more out that i’d be interested in enough to make the drive to the drive-in for. but the less impetus people have to go the theatre the better. they really should not be open at all (except for drive-ins which seem safe enough)

Are theaters opened in the US? I live near a drive in and they're just showing old film's.

I live in Southern California/Los Angeles adjecent and while some are open, studios are very reluctant to release movies to the big screens so they're either holding them for next year or sending them straight to Video on Demonad (VOD/basically pay-extra on certain streaming sites). No big movies are being released in movie theaters in the US. That makes Drive-in theaters difficult cuz basically they're playing old movies but still charging new movie prices.

I attended a free screening on Tuesday (at a drive-in) but the screen cut out like an hour in and they were not able to get it back up. And then yesterday I had tickets to see another movie at another drive-in (different from the one I went to on Tuesday) and they ended up canceling it cuz their generator went out. ☹️☹️☹️

They are showing the new Borat movie at the drive-in so I’m considering buying tickets but I would hate to run into technical issues yet AGAIN.
