I mean, it would actually make response even worse since the place is short staffed as-is. And if both VP and Pres go down, well, now we get to add a Constitutional crisis on top of everything else.
LOS ANGELES—Universal Pictures’ plan to experiment with the theatrical distribution model has sparked all-out war with the world’s largest movie-theater chain.
AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. Chief Executive Adam Aron said his chain would refuse to book any of the Comcast Corp. -owned studio’s movies in his theaters following a Wall Street Journal report on the studio’s plan to release forthcoming titles in theaters and on digital platforms.
In an open letter Tuesday evening addressed to Universal Chairman Donna Langley, Mr. Aron accused the studio of reneging on years of conversations between the studio and theater chain about preserving the exhibitors’ right to an exclusive engagement.
“AMC believes that with this proposed action to go to the home and theatres simultaneously, Universal is breaking the business model and dealings between our two companies,” Mr. Aron wrote. “It assumes that we will meekly accept a reshaped view of how studios and exhibitors should interact, with zero concern on Universal’s part as to how its actions affect us.”
He said he declined because he gets tested often. What a static stiff ideological dimwit.

I’ve been waiting for the studios to start doing this for years and the virus finally made them do it.
It will be interesting to see where we go from here.
I really have a problem with people who can't take criticism of their actions, if you screw up own it and move on.
I'm worried about the impact on theaters. I highly value the theater experience and don't want it to go the way of the dodo.
Nor do I. HCette and I are big movie theater goers.

Is there a movie version I can watch instead?

Wait. He can decline because he gets tested often, so he's safe, but the WH has refused for two months to take the lead to expand testing for the rest of us so we'll know when it's safe to go outside.
So basically the WH is protected and the rest of us are on our own?
