IT goes without saying that every industry has been impacted by coronavirus, no more so than the arts, and from what we can gather from events in the last few days, cinemas look to be the next to fall.

Struggling cinema chain are temporarily closing and moving to weekend-only openings in the hope of surviving.

The lockdown has not only forced cinemas to close its doors but has also disrupted filming meaning there will be even fewer films to screen.

The latest James Bond film ‘No Time to Die’ has been pushed back until next April in a huge blow for an industry in desperate need of an immediate and blockbuster-shaped boost.

Some fear the delay could be the death knell for many cinemas.

Cinemas need the big films, but the big films won't be coming until the big audiences are guaranteed.

With lockdown unlikely to be eased anytime soon, it looks like it will become very desperate for cinemas and sadly, with many turning to streaming services, we may have very few cinemas to return to when it does.
