    • Abstract:
      The article explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on movie theaters in the U.S. Topics covered include the resilience shown by the exhibition industry in dealing with the financial challenges, such as the decline in theatrical box office revenue in 2020, the industry's lobbying for the Congress to enact Save Our Stages, to prevent cinemas in smaller markets from going bankrupt, and how the prospect of a coronavirus vaccine is giving hope to the industry.
