Releases and filmings suspended by COVID-19

According to the Hollywood Reporter, theaters in the United States and Canada report their lowest numbers in terms of sales in history. This absence of the public in movie theaters has been historical and much greater than in other situations such as that of September 11. The public has sheltered itself when the virus reaches their country. On the other hand, in other countries like Colombia, movie theaters have closed their doors to prevent contagion. CineColombia, for example, the largest distributor in this country, closed its doors completely and canceled its functions entirely since last Saturday. The initiative, in other cases, has come from producers such as Marvel, which have canceled premieres scheduled for these days, such as Black Widow.
