Why don't Cineworld keep some of their cinemas open to show all time classic films on the big screen. They could also book a live act to welcome people from the stage, do a short spot and introduce the movie.

It would be hard to do panto this year. Cinderella would have to keep a safe social distance from Prince Charming.
Every time Aladdin rubs the lamp he'll have to run off stage to wash his hands, and It would have to be Snow White and the Six Dwarfs. Well we couldn't have Sneezy!.
