We just got word that Regal Cinemas is the next biggest chain stateside to enforce a reduced auditorium capacity size of 50% where applicable and “with state mandates on social gatherings” says the exhibitor. AMC just recently announced a similar policy. Of the distribution bosses we’ve spoken to, we hear that they don’t expect any more ratcheting down of the box office from what is yet to come as there’s little product in the marketplace. The hope is that if this coronavirus goes away by summer, we’ll all get back to normal, fingers crossed. Regal has not closed its New Rochelle, NY venue which is just outside the containment zone outlined by New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo. I hear residents there, despite testing going on nearby at Glen Island Park, aren’t being forbidden from living their lives. A statement released to Deadline from Regal reads: The health and safety of our customers and staff is very important to us. We are continuing to follow and …
Jeffrey Katzenberg Considered Delaying Quibi Launch Due To Coronavirus Pandemic
Jeffrey Katzenberg ’s Quibi launched yesterday amid as much fanfare as can be expected during a global pandemic. The decision to launch amid the headwinds of COVID-19 wasn’t a straightforward one, Katzenberg admitted during an interview for podcast Recode Media yesterday. When asked whether he and CEO Meg Whitman considered delaying the launch, the former Disney and Dreamworks CEO said, “The answer is yes. We weighed that up and that was our bet. Our gamble was to play offense. Being able to come to market at a time when the entire world is in a defensive posture, to be able to come with something we’re proud of and delivers on its promise, might turn out to be an advantage. But over and again we wanted to be certain we weren’t taking advantage of people’s disadvantage. That was the turning point for us…to do this with the substantive change of giving it free for three months.” The platform’s launch party on April 5 was cancelled weeks ago, but Katzenberg said …

Ad Climate Has “Settled Down”, CW Sales Chief Rob Tuck Says: “The Business Is Starting To Get Back On Its Feet”
Television advertising is starting to show signs of life as spring moves toward fall, in the view of Rob Tuck, EVP National Sales for the CW . Speaking with reporters on the network’s upfront schedule call, Tuck said network has “seen things certainly settle down” of late after the extreme period of late-March and early April amid the COVID-19 lockdown. As far as third-quarter options for ad buys, “the pace is pretty much what we expected,” he said, and is on par with historical levels, “a tick higher” than low-single-digit increases. The network’s upcoming schedule emphasizes January 2021 as the key start to new programming for the year, giving 2020-21 a different contour. Tuck said many advertisers need more time than they typically would for a fall ramp-up. ‘Katy Keene’: The CW Weighs Second Season, Will Make Renewal Decision After More Streaming Numbers Come In Watch on Deadline “Timing may be different from years past but people are getting ready,” …
