The actor talked a lot about entrance cinemas in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, saying in the video: “Going to the cinema has evolved over the years from the early 50’s and 60’s to multiplexes. From cinemas to over-viewing. At home.”
“In any form, it always means meeting people and entertaining in the cinema,” Baldwin continued. “Now that we can’t physically go to the movies because of COVID, the entry elements are back in place. It’s great to see them reborn.”

Since the coronavir pandemic, the entry of closed theaters – and this inevitably pushed back their reopening dates – has seen a resurgence in recent months.
Several old and new films have been screened in movie theaters, including Jurassic Park, which became the first film in the United States nearly 30 years after its release after fans came to see it in June.
In early July, Walmart announced that it would convert 160 of its parking lots into cinemas to run 320 screenings across the country from August to October.
On the initiative’s official website, Walmart called it the most amazing description of the film’s Family Drive-In Movie Tour ever. The site has promised that during a pandemic, pop-ups will be “socially remote”.
“Summer hasn’t really been like summer yet, and I know I hear every day,“ Mom, I’m bored! “Walmart chief customer officer Jane Whiteides said in a press release.” With our digital resources and extensive store presence, we look forward to bringing summer fun to families across the country. We know that Walmart has a role to play in our communities that goes far beyond the need to buy the goods we need, and now we’re seeing it more than ever. ”
The series, which begins on July 2, is spread across markets across America with a selection of curators for films, as well as special music and sports events. Tribeca also works with local suppliers to support small businesses and make the experience truly unique to each community.
