have been the sector hardest hit. They have now starting to lay off staff in droves, with CGV recently laying off as much as 30% of its workforce, according to the financial magazine Economic Weekly.

“China’s national box office is nearly zero, a large number of film crews have suspended their work, and a large number of in-progress projects have had to delay their pre- and post-production,” it explained. A top comment on China’s Twitter-like Weibo platform wrote in response to the news: “The big stars upstream won’t be affected, those mid-stream [in production] will see some ups and downs, but [cinemas] downstream will face hardships and privations…unemployment this year will surge, in all areas.”
