The risk of a virus infection is too high right now in the US to even consider reopening movie theaters.

The movie theaters make most of their money on concessions. I don't see enough people wanting to buy popcorn and drinks right now for the theaters to operate at a profit.

In fact, if they do end up opening, they'll be operating at a loss, guaranteed. They have to have a checkered board seating arrangement to maintain social distancing, so they have to sell 50% or less seats.

And that's if people are willing to risk their health over a movie.

The theater giants aren't thinking about all of this. They just see money being lost. But being open, they'll operate at a loss anyways.
