COVID-19 UPDATE: The CDC recently changed risk group classifications, removing the age-alone factor for seniors. Be careful “youngsters” – the median age for infection is now 34 in Ohio.
STUDIO CANCELLATIONS & DELAYS: An update to the growing list of first-run titles cancelled or delayed by the major studios. Also, in the face of growing infections and hospitalizations, the major chains (AMC, Regal, Cinemark, Alamo, et. al.) have now made made in-theatre patron masks mandatory.
