Now that it's Monday morning, the first weekend after New York City theaters were allowed to reopen, here comes the news media with these types of headlines:

Hey, media: Audiences are not "holding back." We were sold out at 3 shows this weekend, considering our limited capacity. We are currently at 50%. We had to turn people away. I'm sure the theaters in New York are the same way but they're operating at 25% capacity, how are they supposed to generate a $100 million gross?
Also, L.A. is still closed, D.C. is still closed, New Mexico is still closed, the entirety of Regal is still closed. Some of this is alluded to in the article but of course THAT information is either incomplete or vague.
The audience is not "holding back," the audience is BEING HELD BACK.
Why don't they make a headline like "Theaters open, audiences begin to return" instead of heaping on the doom-and-gloom?
