While the coronavirus has shut down sporting events, concerts, and festivals - should movie theaters be included?

AMC Theaters have enforced a 'Social Distancing' policy as they limit the amount of movie goers to gather any anytime to see a movie, others would prefer that they should close all together.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, a poll taken last week (March 5th - 7th) has found that Americans are divided, by 38 percent saying they should be closed, but 44 percent are opposed to the idea.

Now even though the poll was taken a week ago, the virus has since expanded and takes us to the 21 percent of individuals in the poll that say they would rather subscribe to a streaming service citing the coronavirus as a reason for doing so. 43 percent said they would be more likely watch movies on a streaming service than calls for social distancing.
