Timid restart for US cinemas amidst Covid-19 pandemic
NEW YORK - The United States had its first real weekend back at the movies with the reopening of theatre heavyweights AMC and Regal - but film fans made only a timid return in a country which continues to register more than 40,000 new cases of coronavirus a day.
Several major states, first and foremost California, New York and New Jersey, have nevertheless not yet authorised the reopening of cinemas and have not given a timetable. The first major production to attempt a release after a five-month hiatus was thriller Unhinged, starring Russell Crowe as a frustrated motorist who takes road rage to extremes.
