Obviously. But when most of the country is vaccinated, it's going to be okay to live life closer to how we did before the pandemic.
I imagine they're hoping it'll be the first big film a newly vaccinated America can go out and see. Which it might be considering the USA supposedly now could theoretically vaccinate nearly everyone by 4/30.
(I won't see it opening day but if I get vaccinated and cases are super down I might go see it in June or July).

I could have sworn they announced back during that big marvel project event a month or two ago that it was being released on the DIsney+ premier thing...
Maybe it was some fake "leak" or something.

Individuals or groups getting a vaccination isn't the same thing as mass vaccination, you will still be interacting with a significant amount of non-vaccinated people for a long time, and once we do reach vaccinations levels to provide anything close to herd immunity you need to wait for infection rates to drop still before things can remotely go back to normal.
People are way too gung-ho about returning to "normal" the second they get vaccinated and I fully expect to see an uptick in infections in the short term as a result.
Yeah, a fake Disney+ account got a lot of traction pretending the movie was going straight to streaming in April.
It's also worth noting it's highly unlikely any screening of Black Widow in early May is going to seem remotely normal compared to pre-pandemic moviegoing. It's extremely likely capacity limits and mask mandates are still in effect (be it by the state, or by individual theater chains), dramatically reducing the risk of transmission within the theater.
So to elaborate on the post you initially disagreed with - there is probably very little harm in a screening with a mostly vaccinated crowd. Whether or not you believe the crowd you are with is sufficiently vaccinated is up to you - but don't be surprised if plenty of people are comfortable with it.
At this rate their will always be an uptick. Covid will never not be here. Just need to adjust to it and do what you can.
Honestly seems about a month too early. But I'd love to be wrong. Hopefully they do a long run and folks will able to attend in the second half.
Even with the vaccine.... why would A lot of people go to a movie theater in the middle of a pandemic?
They'll get viewers but it's not going to do well.

Millions of people have been vaccinated already and cases and deaths have been dropping like a rock.
I'm vaccinated but I'm not going without my SO and I don't know that a) she'll be vaccinated or b) we'll feel good about going yet.
Also, Black Widow is probably the least interested I've been in a MCU release to date. Even without the pandemic I may have waited to stream it.

Cases have been pretty steady, but fortunately deaths have dropped.
I'll see it in theaters if me and the other people I'd go with all have vaccinations and if Regal is open and still doing social distancing.
I don't think that's true? On January 7th there were 280k new cases. On February 7th it was 87k. On March 7th it was 40k. Some days might tick up or down slightly, but the overall trajectory over the last several weeks has been pointing straight down.
I'm curious though why not spacing out the theatre seats and requiring everyone to wear masks wouldn't be enough come this May?
if stupid restaurants have been allowed this ENTIRE TIME, I feel like theatres with major rules should be comparatively acceptable?
Idk shit, I spend 30 minutes on a crowded train getting to work and back everyday and (thankfully) haven't gotten it

If me and my wife are vaccinated for at least 2 weeks and the movie is in theaters, we are going. At that point I'm going to do the activities I did pre pandemic, and follow whatever guidelines there are but I won't live in fear anymore. That's why you get vaccinated.
January to February was great, but February to March not so much.
I really want to stream it on D+ but this site is real bad with putting spoilers in the thread titles and google loves popping articles with spoilers in the title on my phone. Guess I'll have to do my best to avoid spoilers but I had Mandalorian spoiled within hours about you know what because of google.
Well I'm not in US but I watched Raya in theater recently, I go during weekday and pretty early showing so not many people is there. It was really nice. Really missed going to theater
I'll definitely go watch Blavk Widow in theater just need to pick timeslot thats not crowded and no drinking and eating, wear mask at all times etc.
I haven't been vaccinated, I'll probably have to wait until September for vaccination in my country

It's going to suck if theaters are going to be nothing but superheroes and franchise reboots from here on out.
I hoped that we would see more indie, and mid-budget films in theaters.
True, but research and data suggests that once a person is fully vaccinated, the chances of that person actually having any serious complications from the disease or dying drop to practically nothing.
The real problem is that we still don't know what the rate of transmission is for vaccinated people, which is why mixing them with people who haven't yet been vaccinated is still considered a risk.
And to be clear I understand your caution. I'm now fully vaccinated but after more than a year of living through this pandemic, I feel hesitant to return to any level of normalcy, even when around other people who are likewise vaccinated.
It'll be three weeks to a month after it's in theaters before they'll flip the switch to watch it on D+ for $30. Even if they're not saying it, D+ is their backup plan if all else fails.
Not setting foot in a theater anytime soon, so... I can wait. They'll either get my money or they won't, we'll see.
the weather in atlanta has been really nice the past few days and people are out giving zero shits, they'll be flocking to theaters (are theaters even open? i honestly haven't bothered ever checking over the past year)
I'll be well into my second dose of the vaccine but fuck if I'm going to a theater so soon. I'll see y'all for like Spider-Man or some shit.
I voted that I'll see it in theaters, but I should stipulate that this will only happen if my wife is fully vaccinated by the time it's playing. My mom-in-law is fully shotted up (age), and I'm halfway there (educator), but my wife is the one with the lifetime of health problems and we aren't risking it otherwise.
Didn't China just have one of the biggest opening weekends ever?
Yeah, I'll wait until its streamable to see it. It's a shame, because I would have actually paid to see it on Disney+.
Don't you have to wait a couple of weeks for the vaccine to be fully effective?
Even Florida will be opening up to everyone in the next wave, and I doubt they're straggling on that until May 1st.
