The cinema industry has lost some ₱21 billion since the closure of movie houses in March last year due to the pandemic, an industry group said.

“Parte lang po yung mga sinehan. Kasi kapag bumibili po tayo ng mga ticket, mahigit kalahati nito ay napupunta sa producer ng pelikula at siyempre may binabayaran tayong mga buwis sa gobyerno at sa LGU ,” said Cinema Exhibitors Association of the Philippines president Charmaine Bauzon during the Laging Handa briefing.

“Ang malaki po nito, yung 150,000 na estimate, yung mga gumagawa ng pelikula, ito yung mga artista, direktor, ito yung production crew behind po sa paggawa ng pelikula. At the same time, malaki rin po ang naapektuhan, mga 136,000 yung nagdi-distribute nitong mga nagawang pelikula,” she said. [Translation: About 43,000 suppliers and workers from establishments triving on cinemas, such as food establishments, were also affected.]

They need to reopen the cinemas for the fully vaccinated individuals only. So we can at least assure that it’s quite safe to go in cinemas. A lot of people in cinema industry lost their jobs, so they better reopen it soon.
