7 Days Review: COVID Comes to Cinemas

The past two years of COVID-19 were lonely, for both audiences and cinemas, but the world is moving on. There are now two debating theories regarding how the cinematic landscape will incorporate the Coronavirus pandemic into its content. One is that audiences should expect what Dan Solomon calls "COVID movies," films that either make a quick cash grab at the topical subject or actually and thoughtfully explore how this global trauma has affected humanity. The opposite hypothesis is that this will all be purposefully ignored in favor of more escapist and feel-good entertainment like musicals, superhero flicks, and romantic comedies. Jason Blum, the influential producer behind Blumhouse, tells Variety, “The last thing people want to watch is stories of people in isolation or wearing masks... People are sick of the pandemic. I don’t think you’re going to see a lot of movies that are explicitly about COVID.”
