Changes in Consumer Behavior Post-Pandemic
  • Nielsen reports that post-corona-virus changes in consumer behavior, including permanent shifts in the supply chain and the use of e-commerce. 
Movie and Concert Attendance
  • Disney predicts long-term changes in consumer behavior to include lower attendance at movie theaters and parks, increase viewership of streaming services, and fewer viewers of live TV. Part of the reason for this change in behavior post-pandemic is going to be due to the "disruption in the creation and availability of content", in addition to the cancellation of sports events and the stoppage of most film and TV production.
  • Disney raises speculation that the media and entertainment business may change in "fundamental ways", and the company expects to see an increase in its Disney+ streaming subscribers. Universal Pictures announced that the animated Trolls World Tour have announced a change to release through streaming services instead of the planned big screen release.
  • It is speculated that the movie theater giants such as AMC and Regal may be able to survive, however, small and independent movie theaters are predicted to have to close their doors due to already narrow margins that are heavily based on concession fees.
