Bavarian cinemas may 15. June re-open. When it starts with the Gräfelfinger Filmeck again, but not sure yet. The Problem, among other things, the availability of the films.
Gräfelfing– in addition to theatres, concert halls and other cultural facilities also the cinema in the free state starting from Monday, 15 may. June, again-and-running. “In mid-June, I’m sure, but at the earliest on the 2. July. I judge me according to my colleagues and the market,“ says Werner Scholz, who operates the Gräfelfinger Filmeck. All of the film releases, especially the American provider, be moved. Movies like the “kangaroo Chronicles” have already been shown in Streaming services, and can therefore run poorly again in the cinema. In addition, it is questionable whether there are enough copies, if a lot of film to open the theater again. Scholz asks, therefore, “what movies should I show now”.
Every second row and second place is free
According to the Corona-hygiene rules for cinema operators need every second row and every second space. “For me, it would still be a little over 20 places. Even if I could prove, in the case of a low number I don’t get many movies at all,“ explains Scholz. It’ll bring nothing, if all costs such as staff, are here again, but only a few cards are sold. “The problem is that we only have a toilet and the chairs after each performance, have to disinfect.” In addition, the summer months were the worst cinema months. A re-opening of the Filmecks many question marks are, therefore, “even if I wish, of course, that it’s starting again,” says Scholz.
watch The cinema market
The Filmeck operators will, therefore, address the General development in the cinema market, such as the movie starts. In the closing months looked Scholz regularly to the Right in the Filmeck and lifted vigorously, but no major repairs. “I quickly back to the door, because the empty movie theater was a sad sight for me.”
In the Würmtaler Restaurants los is currently still little (we reported) – probably because some of the Würmtaler to Ensure a Corona-have infection. It could therefore be that some avoid first cinemas. “Relatives of mine, say that cinema is dead. That, I believe, but not because the cinema is a very special and different experience. The market has become very difficult. The producers of nothing more, there are a lot of sequels and Remakes,“ says Scholz.
On the sale of vouchers dispensed
the Filmeck, the need to fight in a cost-effective, recorded in a row of the arranged closure is a strong Minus. Scholz got financial support, “which is not sufficient but by Far”. On the sale of vouchers, as it did other cinemas, he consciously avoided. “Because the cinemas have now revenues, the absence of, but later, when the voucher is redeemed.” Only once, a letter arrived with a donation of 50 euros. Scholz has already shot you in the past own money to the Cinema, and about its pension plans for renovations. “The Filmeck is for me a Hobby. If I were to take a salary from the stove, already for a long time.“
