Loews Hotels is internally expecting it to take around 2 years for tourism to bounce back to where it was.
Couldn’t agree more. Idk the ins and outs or DVC, and from what I know I don’t want that per say for Universal, but some type of “membership” other than an AP would be awesome, even if it’s just hotel related and unrelated to the theme parksLoews:Bring back the Hotel Rewards program!!! That will help you get us out of state long term vacation tourists back.
Not sure where to ask this but looking at bioreconstruct's twitter it seems that all three UOR theme parks were lit up last night (and probably have been since they closed) Any idea why this is? Surely it would be cheaper to turn all the lighting off
Closing Jaws and refueling the boats was some of the neatest memories at the parks for me. Being one of like only two people walking through Jaws in the middle of night, with nothing but the sound of crickets on your way out.In my days as a Team Member, it was always strange to be one of the last ones leaving either from an event for us or standard closing. Jurassic Park in particular always felt more realistic in the dark
With many major cities potentially now not opening theaters until August, Mulan's opening is now in question and PVOD may now be back in play:
Disney Won’t Be Able To “Jam People” On Prices At Parks, May “Kill” ‘Mulan’ Theatrical As Digital Boost – Analyst
Disney is starting to recover from COVID-19, but it won’t be able to “jam people on pricing” at its theme parks anytime soon, hurting revenue, and may opt to “kill” th…deadline.com
Fully understand that. I actually just made the theme parks/analyst point in another thread so I get it.This is based on a single analyst. Many reputed analysts also claimed theme parks wouldn't reopen this year. In other words, he's speculating, albeit to an audience that invests.
Fully understand that. I actually just made the theme parks/analyst point in another thread so I get it.
However, If San Fran, LA and NYC don't open, the opening of theaters in July is on shaky ground as those 3 cities make up 25% of the theater business.
My biggest issue with them putting Mulan for sale is....I had Movie Pass then AMC A-list both under 25 bucks.....which is what ONE movie costs to rent at home. When I'm the one paying for how I stream it, the seats and the screen.
I feel Movie companies need to make a temporary A-list type servie to stream all new movies for like 30-40 bucks a month. Or something, I know families make out like Bandits with at home movies...but the kids are going to get you more money once they see your film....Ohh i liked that now I want a Mulan doll, will play with Disney Phone game etc.
Thats why I said like it. I'm a big movie person, I buy Blue Rays, I see movies on Thursday Night and See Anime/Special movies that cost extra even see older movies that have come back.Amc A list was through the movie theater chain not studios. It was cost effective for them, lots of members and not everyone sees 3 movies a week every week of the month (on average)
Not surprising, but man its sad. VOD seems to be doing just fine for these companies honestly. While that model will never work for movies like Marvel, Star Wars, Tenet, any major budget film, those will be for theaters. The game has changed, its freaking sad. Movie theaters were like my main escape.AMC Theatres has 'substantial doubt' it can remain in business
