January will see the year off to an exceptionally strong start and if the cinemas only manage to stay open, we’ll have something good to remember.
Presuming we don’t emulate Denmark and go leaping back into the bunker, 2022 should see a greater range of movies returning to our cinemas. It remains to be seen whether the film industry has been permanently altered by the pandemic, with a large number of people now content to stick with online platforms and leave the cinemas to those who fancy a CGI fix on a Friday night, or pursue more specialised tastes at a film festival.
Under the lockdowns this has reinforced the growing divide between visiting the cinema and watching movies at home. Going to the movies has survived, not simply because films look better on the big screen, but because it’s a social activity with familiar, comfortable rituals such as popcorn and choctops.Many now believe they can have just as much fun at home, and see better movies.
