Regardless of social distancing requirements, programming is a challenge and will continue to be a
challenge after capacity limits are lifted. Artists have been hit hard and many shows/acts/groups no
longer exist, or at least not in the same format as before. Broadway will take time to power back up
and Hollywood will continue to experiment with screen- to-streaming scenarios that may or may not
return to pre-pandemic normalcy. Watch what happens on Christmas Day with the release of Won-
der Woman. Those revenue numbers could be used to re-shape the film industry as we know it.
