Do they think celebrities and executives will want to work on Thanksgiving? For sure they're gonna cancel cause most likely they're gonna ignore the Hotel and convention staff but they can't ignore their celebrity guests and industry heads.
LMAO...as a chinese...that will be equivilant to having a chinese movie expo that takes place on the chinese new year weekend.
Who's really gonna attend it?
they are banking on "what made us traditional", so, it'll probably be the exhibit hall and a small number of conferences
A lot of the people that show up to these things do not get regular work as actors, and strongly rely on convention income that they get from autographs & photographs. Those people have had zero convention income for over a year now, and are very much looking forward to resuming the convention circuit.Do they think celebrities and executives will want to work on Thanksgiving?
So if you purchased SDCC tickets last year, are they just rolling them over to the new Thanksgiving event? I would be pretty pissed about that.
Most other big conventions are tentatively aiming to take place later in the year, at full scale or close to it.....many of them probably can't survive skipping two years in a row, and their insurance companies will probably not pay out for another cancelled event.I thought they decided already to hold it without people attending again this year?
I think those tickets are rolled over for 2022. This is sort of separate from that.So if you purchased SDCC tickets last year, are they just rolling them over to the new Thanksgiving event? I would be pretty pissed about that.
But don't the big celebs show up for the panels?A lot of the people that show up to these things do not get regular work as actors, and strongly rely on convention income that they get from autographs & photographs.

I understand, but Comic Con are also going to lose out on the big names who are part of the draw in addition to fucking over all the lesser known celebs and the staff that will have to work during the holiday.They aren't talking about the panels. They're talking about lesser-known celebrities who do autographs and photo ops at conventions to supplement their income.
