Coronavirus and the UK & Ireland cinema industry
We are in an unprecedented situation with the coronavirus pandemic, which has impacted the movie industry across the world. Comscore is hosting a twice-monthly webinar where we will focus on its effects across UK & Ireland.
The webinars offer a space for dialogue with all stakeholders on the impact of the pandemic, the way forward and the road to recovery. During these sessions, hosted by Lucy Jones, Executive Director of Comscore Movies, our panelists will discuss a variety of topics including current concerns among exhibitors, preparing for relaunch, programming in a period with fewer new releases, and the latest modelling forecasts for box office 2020.
We'll publish the recording of each session below.
