Does coronavirus mean the end credits for cinema?
In March, Prime Minister Boris Johnson told us that we shouldn't be going to places where we're in close proximity to one another. Places like cinemas.
Since then, the cinema industry has had to deal with several months of lockdown, competition from streaming services, and when they could reopen there were few films to show.
On this episode of the Sky News Daily podcast, host Jayne Secker is joined by Phil Clapp, chief executive of the UK Cinema Association to talk about Cineworld sites closing. They also discuss the effect that coronavirus has had on the film industry in the long term.
Also appearing on the podcast is Sky's Backstage podcast host, Claire Gregory, plus film critic and host of podcast Girls on Film, Anna Smith, to discuss how TV and film makers have adapted to the situation.
