Jenkins spoke with the news agency `Reuters` in an interview from her home in Los Angeles and she got quite candid when discussing the recent temporary closure of Cineworld and Regal Cinemas by saying `If we shut this down, this will not be a reversible process. We could lose movie theater-going forever.`
Jenkins has been among top Hollywood names who have appealed to the government for financial help for cinemas. They believe that if the movie theaters don't get some kind of financial help, it could very well mean their extinction.
Sadly, I don't think she's wrong. The movie theaters are clearly struggling and it looks like no help is in sight. Congress doesn't appear to be budging on providing assistance and some believe that the studios should do their part but the only thing they have done is move their high-profile releases to later dates.
