Post If there is a bird flu outbreak in America....
how badly will it effect the box office? Would studios push their movies back until after the outbreak is cleared up or not?

I agree. But there is always a chance.

If there is a bird flu virus going on, the government will declare hunting season on all birds. All birds in pet stores will be either quarantined and later chopped to death or death by flushing down the toilet

LOL!


Well, I don't think it will quite get to that point, but the worst case scenario is that 40% of Americans will not be going to work at all, so going to the movies is the last thing anyone would give a crap about.


So, I think it would lead to a 95-100% slump in the box office :roll:

Just last week a farm close to me had 65,000 chickens killed due to a dead bird found on the premises carrying a weak strain of the bird flu.

Box you idiot!!
Of course theres a link between the bird flu and the slump. Gasoline prices affect the BO because people have to pay more. The gasoline prices are too much because the oil companies are using the oil to combat this bird flu. The first step that they are taking is dumping all the oil in the water supply so that it will become a genocide pool for the infected birds as you can see below

Sorry Spider-Man, but I don't see this thread being productive in any way, or actually having much to do with BO.
