Coronavirus and the media: opposition for restricting events U.S. 2020
A study conducted on the coronavirus and the media in the United States in March 2020 revealed that 44 percent of adults strongly or somewhat opposed the U.S. government's decision to shut down movie theaters due to the outbreak. Movie theater closures were the most contentious issue among survey respondents, with less resistance towards live concert postponements and movie premiere cancellations. The study also found that strong opposition to movie theater closures was higher among Republicans, Boomers, and respondents living in rural parts of the United States.
