Metallica came to town last night. Usually, when I write an opening sentence like that, I’m about to review a live show in an arena or stadium.Can you believe the coming crowd, the excitement in the air, the noise and the photographs as group enthusiasts, on dates and with their families come waiting for the lights to pass out and the sound overlooks.It’s Metallica.
But now, with a Covid-19 pandemic, live events are all on hold, until the summer of 2021 or later.There is no stadium on the planet giant enough to distance itself socially and house 75,000 people.Living Metallica as a massive event won’t, will take place soon.
Last night we saw the plan B.Metallica betting on the movie parks.They’re not the first to check it out. Blake Shelton, Keith Urban and Garth Brooks have already done it, Dave Matthews has.Is going to a concert at the drive-in viable in the long run or is it just a reserved space?
That’s how it works. Metallica was filmed at a concert at Gundlach Bundschu Vineyard in Sonoma, California, and then, on August 29, only for one night at 8 p.m.and 11:30 p.m., the movie shown in movie parks across the country.Like a concert, you either went or missed it. Tickets charge $115 consistent with the car, adding 4 virtual downloads of the album S
However, bands like Metallica have expenses. There are expenses to pay even when they cannot be run.You want to find a way to monetize the call from others who want to watch it play.And the math of the drive-in style is attractive. Two screens consistent with the night.$115 consistent with car,300 theaters. If a movie theater has 10 cars consistent with display, it generates $690,000 in gross revenue.An average of $1,380,000 consistent with display in all rooms is $1,380,000.$2,760,000 consistent with the factor is $2,760,000.Meanwhile, spending remains stable, are theater prices, the position of a projectionist, snack bar workers, some young people to sell souvenirs, anyone who records cars on the door, as well as on-demand staff and enforce social estrangement regulations. Each additional price ticket sold goes directly to the profit column. And both one and both additional price tickets sold count towards 4 S album sales
Is it fun? That’s the query being tested.I sense why other people need to leave their homes I sense why they need to feel like they’re at a concert I’m just not convinced that being in their car watching a concert movie through the front window or from a truck’s bed is the same.You can’t feel the music coming out of your radio like when Metallica plays live and the bass vibrates your center.Interaction with other enthusiasts is incredibly limited.Concerts are a sensory delight, where you listen and feel the music, watch the musicians and be part of the living and changing crowd.Watching a feature filmed from inside your vehicle reduces the chance to watch a big screen while paying attention to the radio.
Metallica played 16 songs in minutes. The setlist was:
1. Wired
2. Who rings the bell
3. Fuel
4. Search and destroy
5. Creepy death
6. One
7. Now that we’re dead
8. Sad Truth
9. Butterfly on fire
10. The Unstable
11. Wherever I can move
12. Black
13. Puppeteer
14. Battery
15. Nothing else matters
16. Between Sandman
I think the calculations are correct as to the value of this screen.$115 is very affordable when movies charge more than $15 according to what the child is entitled to.If you had 4 in your car, you paid the value of a movie entry plus the charge of the virtual download CD you earned as a package component.It has a position to pass and anything to look forward to.It had all the functionality of Metallica with the opening act Three Days Grace.He wants to honk or flash his lighting fixtures on the screen to show you’re having fun and, unlike a normal concert, you can bring your dog, so there’s this.
Everyone likes to hear Enter Sandman, it’s still unknown how much you’ll hear it again in a movie theater, it’s to see how normality continues to replace as this pandemic continues.
