The screening of non-mainstream pictures at midnight was aimed at building a cult film audience, encouraging repeat viewing and social interaction in what was originally a countercultural setting.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on the film industry in 2020, 2021 and further into 2022, mirroring its impacts across all arts sectors. Across the world and to varying degrees, cinemas and movie theaters have been closed, festivals have been cancelled or postponed, and film releases have been moved to future dates or delayed indefinitely. Due to cinemas and movie theaters closing, the global box office has dropped by billions of dollars, streaming has seen a significant increase in popularity and the stock of film exhibitors has also dropped dramatically. Many blockbusters originally scheduled to be released since mid-March 2020 have been postponed or canceled around the world, with film productions also halted. This, in turn, created openings for independent cinema productions to receive wider exposure.

No instead you'll probably be a member of what's known as the Bel Air Circuit. An exclusive club of a few thousand members, named after this exclusive district of LA. And it means you'd have the Studio contacts, and the money, to have theatrical releases delivered directly to your door. But it's not ideal, even then they'll turn-up with a hard-drive, you'll watch the movie and then they'll deliver it straight back to the Studio where it's under lock and key.

...But it made sense, when I said you're doing this now anyway, because you send films to the Bel Air Circuit, and this is a small group of people that rarely ever go to the theatres, for whatever reason. Whether their schedules are too busy or they have a private home theatre...and they just want to watch it at home.
