I booked three tickets for the new James Bond at a really posh cinema, armchairs, table service for food and drink. This was for me, for hubby as a birthday treat, and mum as a mother’s day treat.
I don’t feel so smug today 😕

Please ... it’s a bit of an over reaction, surely?
personally I think it’s a publicity stunt
We surely can’t close all theatres and cinemas from now till November? And why November?

Hi Rexi 
What a shame 
But presumably they will refund you ...or hold the tickets over ?

IIRC, it was initially fans who were calling for a postponement, and their concern was with the global market, but particularly China. Unfortunately the UK just got caught up in it...

But surely that means that all cinemas should close? And theatres? And sports venues?
Is this not a bit of an over reaction?

As I said, it was just the fans calling for this initially, however more widespread action may come: Italy's already requiring all professional sport events - including Serie A matches - to be held behind closed doors until April!

But a) no one has died here yet , and b) that won’t mean it’s gone away cos the majority of people recover ....and there have been suggestions in China that even after people recover it may come back again

We don't even advocate greater hygiene all that much.
Yes there is a background mention of hygiene, but it's not really pushed.
