      Economic<\/strong> <\/strong>losses<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      According to the \u00abHollywood Reporter\u00bb magazine (www.hollywoodreporter.com<\/a>) the entertainment\nindustry is likely to lose more than $5bn in Q1 2020. In China, the value of\ncinema tickets for the month of February reached $15m when at the same time the\ncorresponding value was $1,76bn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Only postponing the premiere of James Bond’s new film could give losses of $1,5bn. The Shanghai theme park in 2018 had 11,8million visitors and revenues of $1,5bn profit. Both the Shanghai theme park and one of Hong Kong’s counterparts will remain closed for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Music industry<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Music industry and of course could not be left unaffected by the\ncoronavirus epidemic and since concerts are constantly cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        TV Series Productions and <\/strong>Realities<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        From coronavirus epidemic did not escape tv productions such as the\ncancellation of the production of CBS\u2019s 33rd<\/sup> season of Reality\n\u00abAmazing Race\u00bb. In addition, Sony Pictures Entertainment\u2019s offices and studios\nwere closed in the UK, France and Poland with a huge blow to this giant\ncompany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The problem is that the losses will continue as the coronavirus vaccine\nwill be delayed being discovered and channelled to the public. The financial\nlosses will continue to occur in Q2 2020 with cancellations at all kinds of\nspectacles continuing non-stop. In this case state governments should help\nfinancially and with tax-exempt all these companies that are brutally affected\nby the coronavirus epidemic. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
