“Host a personal screening for one or make it a private party for up to 20 people total!,” AMC says on its website. “It’s perfect for an everyday escape or a celebration to remember.”

Starting at $99, moviegoers can reserve an entire AMC auditorium. 

The company has been unable to host showings during the pandemic in many of the biggest markets in the United States since March.

“In compliance with these restrictions, all of our theatres worldwide have temporarily suspended operations through June,” the company said in the filing earlier this year. “During this period, we are generating effectively no revenue.”

Even if they could open, many studios are delaying the release of their films until further notice.

“We have to prepare for the inevitability that one, or more, of the major chains may not survive if this situation continues to lurch into next summer,” senior analyst at entertainment research firm Exhibitor Relations Jeff Bock told CNN. “The number of movie theaters that will close on a permanent basis will be directly proportional to how long it takes the US to stomp out the virus.”

The song is not only about disappointment, but also a rallying cry of resilience in the face of adversity.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY

 

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
