Adding sanitization to the cleaning process between showings isn’t a big deal. The biggest structural hurdle is changing how the air is moved through the system, or using much more expensive air filtration. We will see theater chains go under, and when the vaccine is widespread and things are closer to the old normal, new companies will buy up and renovate those old theaters.</blockquote>
