But it is long term debt. Once a corporation signs a long term lease on a property, they are on the hook to pay all the lease payments for the term of the lease. That counts as long term debt. They can't monetize the payments because there is no ownership, implied or otherwise. All they can do is write off the monthly lease payments as the cost of doing business.

There's only two ways to get out of a long term property lease: renegotiate or declare bankruptcy.

The 46-year-old storied venue at 4014 Dutchmans Lane announced Tuesday that in response to challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic, it decided to become a "first-run movie theater."

“As the movie theater industry evolves in the wake of COVID and streaming services, we felt it was time to reprogram our offerings at Village 8,” Les Aberson, owner of Apex Entertainment said in a statement Tuesday. “Customers will still be able to watch movies at a significantly lower price than what they would pay at a big chain.”

While that means customers can catch current releases — Village 8 previously showed second-run movie releases — it also means prices are going up: Showings after 6 p.m. will now cost $8 per adult instead of the prior $4 charge. And matinee showings, or those before 6 p.m., will now be $5 instead of $3 per ticket.

It doesn't feel like price hikes are the way to go. They'll probably just drive more people away from theaters.

Not much choice if they are going to lose part of their customer base.

‘Shang-Chi’ Lifts To $258M Global; ‘Free Guy’ At $277M – International Box Office

Refresh for latest…: Disney/Marvel’s Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings handily crossed the $250M mark globally this weekend, seeing a very good 34% drop at the international box office and maintaining No. 1s in such key markets as Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Korea, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Spain and the UK.

The overall overseas weekend was $35.2M from 42 material markets, lifting the international cume to $112M and worldwide to $257.6M. It’s still a question mark on a China release ahead, but there is some runway elsewhere for the Destin Daniel Cretton-directed superhero pic, and word of mouth continues to be positive. Next up, Warner Bros/Legendary’s sci-fi epic Dune opens this week in select overseas markets, and then Bond starts rolling in from September 28.

The Top 5 markets to date are the UK ($16.4M), Korea ($10.7M), France ($7.5M), Russia ($6.1M) and Japan ($5.5M).

In IMAX, Shang-Chi has grossed $21M globally, of which $8.6M comes from overseas.

The only major studio title in the China market of late, Disney/20th Century Studios’ Free Guy continues to excel. The Ryan Reynolds-starrer has now grossed $276.5M global, including $174.7M internationally. With $76.3M to date in China, the film is the third highest grossing MPA title there since cinemas reopened in July 2020. The overall weekend was $17.3M overseas.

IMAX is now at $19.7M on the movie, including $10.7M from China.

The pandemic is already over for vaccinated people. It never existed for children. The minor risk associated with both those groups is not pandemic-level. Unvaccinated people should worry, but if they were worrying, they would've been vaccinated already. I don't spend my time worrying about or shut down my economy over people who refuse to help themselves. Buyer beware.

No other articles call that debt that I saw. Debt has interest payments. Call those liabilities, but not debt. Calling it debt is not accurate or precise.

The full vaccination percent isn't useful, because it includes those under 12 who can't get vaccinated. We are already past the president's benchmark for 70% of adults being vaccinated. From 2 days ago:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...ine-doses.html

About 75.4 percent of adults have received at least one shot. President Biden set a goal on May 4 of reaching 70 percent of adults by July 4, but it took almost a month extra to reach that national target.
