500+ cinema screens in China reopen, but suffer negligible ticket sales

More than 500 cinema screens in China have reopened as the coronavirus threat begins to recede there.
According to financial publication Caixin, there are now 507 screens open – although the number still represents less than 5% of all cinemas operating prior to the virus outbreak.
And despite the cinemas starting to re-open, people are understandably reluctant to risk venturing into such a shared public space.
