Abstract
This thesis examines the impact of Coronavirus on the British exhibition and distribution industries as the situation unfolded through the historical framework and understanding of key moments that have occurred since the last time the film industry was impacted as a result of a global pandemic. It explores the 1918 Influenza, key technological developments, including the transition from celluloid to digital and the advent of streaming, business models like the theatrical window, as well as evolving social habits, economic decisions, and industry discourses that have shaped the industry at the moment of the next pandemic’s emergence in 2020.
