Nu Metro has announced the closure of all its cinemas with immediate effect.

The company said this was because of the imminent national lockdown due to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.

“This serves to confirm that Nu Metro management has decided to close all of its cinema complexes and accompanying operations in South Africa with immediate effect, following the governmental announcement of the national lockdown to contain the spread of the coronavirus,” Nu Metro stated.

Meh

Sort of goes without saying... Cinemas aren't exactly essential.

Long ads to increase parking bay fees? Seriously?

 

[borro]

So cinemas will be a safe place to be.

Duh, you don't say.

Long ads to increase parking bay fees? Seriously?

That's my own pet conspiracy theory.

Well, thanks Captain Obvious..

Perhaps MyBB journos should use the lockdown wisely, publish no articles and spend the time researching for and writing relevant, useful articles...

They can stay closed permanently

 

[Wasabee!]

Maybe they can clean all the popcorn up once and for all.

Yip, I couldn't care less. Have not been to a cinema in over 20 years.

I see Disney is releasing some of their new movies straight to Disney + on demand streaming - since everyone is home anyway.

Truth be told. I'd happily pay movie ticket prices to watch a film on opening night at home.
