France, with the obligation of a green pass the number of spectators in cinemas is halved

PARIS – Audience collapse in French cinemas. A week after the green pass was compulsory, the decline was on average 50 percent with peaks of 70 percent. A blow to the halls beyond the Alps which had begun to find the public since May after six months of closure. Instead, Emmanuel Macron’s surprise announcement on July 12 threw the sector into panic again.
