VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 14, 2020, a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence ("AI") to drive real-time insights, enhanced customer engagement, and automated venue tracing to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to announce the successful launch of its first “Film Bubble” for a major motion picture (“MMP1”) that is scheduled to commence filming in January 2021. The name of the film and the starring actors will remain confidential until the commencement of filming.

FILM AND TV STUDIOS SEEK FAST AND RELIABLE TESTING SOLUTIONS TO RESUME SAFE OPERATIONS AND MITIGATE BILLIONS IN LOSSES
Total earnings at the North American box office in 2019 amounted to $USD 11.32 billion according to Statista.com. In January 2020, the U.S. motion picture and sound recording industry employed over 456 thousand people, with several hundred thousand more in Canada, the U.K., and around the world.
As a result of production closures and cinema shutdowns related to COVID-19, the majority of the industry's revenues and jobs have been temporarily lost and are now at significant risk of long-term damage if the industry is unable to find solutions that can provide for the safe resumption of operations.
Specifically, the global entertainment industry is projected to lose a staggering $160 billion of growth over the next five years, according to research firm Ampere Analysis.
On November 2nd, AMC Theatres announced a 91% drop in revenues during the most recent earnings period, with losses hitting $906 million in just this quarter.

With all our debt now belonging to China, we need to makes it easier for Chinese investors to start building new projects to improve our economy. After the new South Arabian Dollar fully replaced the Khaleeji, Multiple SAR Ministers & Entrepreneurs met with Chinese Government officials & Influential businessmen.
The Ministry of Banking will allow for the top leading Chinese banks to set up their branches in the cities of Muscat, Sohar, Duqm, Salalah, Mukalla, and Socotra.
The Ministry of Fisheries wishes for Chinese companies to partner up with Hadhrami businessmen for starting new fish farms along the coast. There are huge resources, and we plan to make use of it. Most of the product is likely to be exported to China as we have an FTA where fisheries are included.
The Ministry of Agriculture seeks for China to invest more in growing large scale hemp and cannabis farms in South Arabia. This has proven to become quite the "green gold" as it has been profitable so far.
The Ministry of Tourism would be very welcoming of Chinese tourists and are negotiating with the Ministry of Immigration regarding making changes to the tourist visa requirements for Chinese passport holders. We plan to make it so that Chinese tourists now can enter into South Arabia with visas upon arrival, similar to how to USA & UR & EU countries' requirements. We hope that our marketing campaigns in China to visit the majestic islands of Socotra will prove to be a success. We wish to see establishing direct flights from Socotra to selected cities in China, as we are sure this will be a lucrative venture since demand is already almost at peak. We must also build the necessary infrastructure. South Arabia shall give special licenses to several JVs between locals and Chinese to set up Hotels, Bars, Nightclubs, Casinos, Brothels, and more so as to guarantee future income.
The Ministry of Commerce & Industry expresses its interest to build a new Freezone and Industrial Park in the coastal city of Sayhut, Hadhramut. China Road & Bridge Corporation will be awarded a contract to link the Freezone to the cities of Wadi Masila by building a new road that will head 160km northwest to meet the E5 dirt road. The E5 dirt road will then have the asphalt laid out with widening and extension works until the City of Seiyun. The Factories that would be set up in the Freezone would be of all sorts; Vehicles, Textiles, Oil & Gas, Chemicals, Plastics, Metals, Marble, and Paper.
The Ministry of Energy wishes to see that South Arabia becomes a beaconing example of utilizing renewable energy in the region. South Arabia already has a nuclear energy plant in Muscat, however, now is time we try to think of Salalah as it has been growing at a high rate. We wish to set up a nuclear fusion plant in the city of Salalah and wish for collaborating on this front.
Ministry of Manpower emphasizes the importance of creating sustainable jobs for South Arabians, as we plan to move people away from the agricultural farm life and into manufacturing work, these people will need training and experience from the reputable Chinese companies. We also need to ensure that China will do more than abide by the 80% employment rule for locals, but actually will allow for the South Arabians to climb up the ladder and becoming supervisors and managers in the Chinese companies. [m] just employ the sons or daughters of a nobleman and things will go pretty smooth in that regard [/m]
Ministry of Investment wishes to see the Chinese investment companies take a larger role in promoting investment in Hadhramut. As this is a land untouched, there are many areas that need to be brought to the 21st century, and with your help, we can achieve this.
The Ministry of Defence would like to work on a lease deal that would be similar to the British Deal where we rent out land for building military/navy/airbases. MOD proposes to China the following locations for 50-year lease:

1. 1SQKM of coastal land on the westernmost tip of Samhah, Socotra for $120 million annually
2. 1SQKM of coastal land in the South Yemen-Bordering town of As Sufal for $90 million annually

The Ministry of Defence would also like to start procuring Chinese equipment mostly items for the Airforce such as helicopters, transport planes, and tactical air lifters. However, when it comes to the Navy and Army, we would prefer if China can set up plants in Duqm to manufacture and assemble the most up to date patrol boats and armored vehicles jointly.
We would also like to have a defence treaty, since we realize China is the upcoming superpower of the world.
We hope to collaborate on all fronts and are looking forward to hearing our Chinese friends' replies and feedback, and are open to suggestions as to how to prevent economic collapse in these uncertain times for our new government.
President Qasim Al Hashimi invites President Xi Jingpin to visit the newly established South Arabia and sends gifts of Gold, Silver, and Ancient Chinese artifacts found in several ruins discovered by the local Archaeologists (evidence of trading ties between the two nations).

13th - The Art of Racing in the Rain (Disney) -> £197,009 ($238 thousand) from 383 cinemas
THIS WEEKEND -> £13,451,579 ($16.3 million) from all movies, down 17.6% from last weekend and down 25% from the same weekend last year. Compared to the previous 52 weekends, this weekend ranks 34th and is down 14.5% against the average.
THE BIG RELEASE
Blinded by the Light
£966,095 ($1.17 million) including previews
NA-DOM opening equivalent = $9.66 million
After premiering at Sundance earlier this year, Gurinder Chadna's latest comedy-drama finally comes out, albeit seven weeks after another 'jukebox musical' starring a male British Asian inspired by the music of a certain artist. However, unlike Yesterday, which was had a fictional and unlikely plot, Blinded by the Light is based on real experiences and memoirs of journalist Sarfarz Manzoor and his love of Bruce Springsteen. Within the movie, Javed, who is based on Manzoor, discovers parallels between the lyrics of Springsteen's songs and his own working-class life in 80s Luton. Despite good reviews however, BbtL has failed to open as high as Chadna's previous films Bend It Like Beckham, which opened to £2m (£3.2m adjusted) back in 2002, and Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging which opened to £929 thousand (£1.22m) in 2008. Both of these films featured teenagers in the main role. Nevertheless, eOne is expecting a run similar to Yesterday and Rocketman, in which BbtL will play well through the weekdays to mature audiences and develop some good legs. In a world where only big blockbusters top the box office during the summer, it's great to still see local independent films finding their own space and drawing in the crowds.
THE OTHER RELEASES
Playmobil
£376,296 ($455 thousand) including previews
NA-DOM opening equivalent = $3.76 million
No. This is a 100 minute advert for a not-that-popular toy brand and you know it. Unlike the Lego Movie, Playmobil looks like a normal, inoffensive kids movie, with all the expected (unironic) clichés such as dead parents, rival siblings, funny sidekicks and a 'you can be whatever you want' message. Fuck, I'm wondering what song everyone dances to at the end. It's a shame, considering the director used to be an animator at Disney, so there was potential, but all of that was thrown out of the window in the name of mediocrity.
Bring the Soul: The Movie
NA-DOM opening equivalent = $2.38 million
This documentary of the popular Korean boy band, which alternates between recorded live performances and interviews, manages to bring out their loyal fans so they can see them on the big screen, in a similar fashion to actual live events. Despite the name, this is actually their second movie, the first earlier this year being a pure recording of a live concert in Seoul.
The Art of Racing in the Rain
NA-DOM opening equivalent = $1.97 million
At first, Disney's release of Fox's drama sounds like an awards season hit of a racing driver who has hit hard times. In reality, Kevin Costner voices a dog who narrates his life. By following the full life of this particular dog and the impact he has on his master, from adoption to death, it appears that the movie is trying to mimic Marley & Me (also by Fox 2000) to achieve success, but, the name itself is turning people off and allowing it to bomb. In fact, this is probably one of the worst wide openings for a movie by a major Hollywood studio, ever. The name is so pretentious, but then again it's the name of the book the movie is based on.
TOP PERFORMING REPEATS
The Lion King
£59,913,197 ($72.5 million) after 4 weeks
NA-DOM total equivalent = $599 million
Once again The Lion King is king of the box office, and this time with only a drop of 15.5%. Lion King has also achieved 24 consecutive days at number 1, the most for any movie this year, and has passed Toy Story 4 to become this year's second biggest hit. Technically it is now also the second-largest animated film ever, behind 2010's Toy Story 3, although the film's status as either 'live-action' and/or 'animated' is debatable. With no real competitors in sight, Lion King should reign for the rest of the summer, even as Scottish and Irish schools start returning. £70 million will probably be achieved, and maybe even £80 million?
Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw
£12,801,580 ($15.5 million) after 2 weeks
NA-DOM total equivalent = $128 million
Hobbs & Shaw has a great second weekend drop for a traditionally frontloaded franchise, however it is still behind recent main-series instalments. Fortunately, as it is just a spin-off, a lower gross is to be expected.
Toy Story 4
£58,766,431 ($71.1 million) after 8 weeks
NA-DOM total equivalent = $588 million
This has been Disney's summer. Not only Toy Story 4 is still in the top 3 after 8 weeks, it has even managed to increase around 20%, thanks in part to poor weather and cinemas giving the movie more showtimes after others have bombed. Thanks to their release strategy, Disney has managed to create a powerful duopoly that has been ruling the box office during the summer holidays. Both Toy Story 4 and Lion King have likely past £60 million and on their way to £70 million before the end of the summer. It is on top of Aladdin making £36m and Endgame £88m. It's unlikely that any studio, even Disney, will recreate this feat in the near future. But I always like to be proved wrong.
Spider-Man: Far From Home
£34,534,050 ($41.8 million) after 6 weeks
NA-DOM total equivalent = $345 million
After a great drop, it's official - Far From Home has passed Spider-Man 3's £33.6m from 2007 to become the highest-grossing Spider-Man movie. This is no doubt due to the wider success of the MCU and the popularity boost it gave to him. If Sony had instead rebooted Spider-Man into their own Marvel Universe, Tom Holland's second movie would probably be much lower.
NOTABLE FILMS STILL ON THE GO
£36,546,568 ($44.2 million) -> Aladdin (Disney) after 12 weeks

Labour ain't gonna take this lying down...
Points from a WSJ article sidebar plus some extras:
69-79

...Vespasian considers a proposal submitted by the mechanicus for a job of transportation up the Capitoline hill. The bid is low and the individual who has proposed it presumably will be awarded the job. As a part of the proposal, the mechanicus apparently intends to make use of a labor-saving device designed to make the project easier, that is, less labor-intensive and therefore less expensive. Vespasian rejects the proposal on the grounds that it will deny the plebs an opportunity to work for pay. [Rome and her monuments: Essays on the city and literature of Rome in Honor..., p212, Susan D Martin]

1397 & 1412 Cologne

In 1397, for example, when tailors protested, the city of Cologne banned the use of machines that automatically pressed pin-heads. And in 1412, in response to resistance by silk spinners' guild to the adoption of a silk-twisting mill, the city declared that "many persons who earn their bread in the guild in this town would fall into poverty, for which reason the town council agreed that neither this mill nor in general any similar mill shall be made or erected, either now or in future." [The Technology Trap: Capital, Labor, and Power in the Age of Automation, Carl Benedikt Frey, p49]

1470s

Gutenberg’s printing press drew protests from Italian professional writers in Genoa in 1472, German card makers in Augsburg in 1473 and French stationers in Lyons in 1477. [WSJ - ibid]

1523

No craftsman whall think up or devise any new invention, or make use of such a thing, but rather each man shall, out of citizenly and brotherly love, follow his nearest and his neighbour, and practise his craft without harming another's. -Edict of the King of Poland to resolve conflicts in the town of Thorn/Torun, 1523 [The European Guilds: An Economic Analysis, p438, Shellagh Ogilivie]

1495 & 1551

1. The Gig Mill and Shearing Frame - The introduction of machinery into the dressing of cloth aroused dissension as early as the fifteenth century. A Statute of 1495 forbade shearmen to use "instruments of iron" in place of "the broad shears" and a Statute of 1551 prohibited "gig mills" for raising the nap. The latter prohibition does not appear to have taken effect, or Charles I. found occasion to issue a proclamation against them, and a Report on the Decay of the Cloth Industry, dated 1640, alluding to the frequent use of gig mills, "now called mozing mills, for avoiding the penalties of law," states that these "engines" still required to be suppressed in Gloucestershire "about Stroudwater." A writer in 1803 remarks that the gig mill had been employed in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire for dressing white cloth "longer than anyone can remember," although no strict proof could be adduced to identify this machine - which contained a cylinder covered by teasles - with that mentioned in Edward VI.'s Statute. The saving of labour was said to be very considerable, a machine managed by one man and two boys doing the work of eighteen men and six boys. [The History of Woollen and Worsted Industries, Ephraim Lipson, p188-189]

1589

[William] Lee was a curate at Calverton when he is said to have developed the machine because a woman whom he was courting showed more interest in knitting than in him (or alternatively that his wife was a very slow knitter). His first machine produced a coarse wool, for stockings. Refused a patent by Queen Elizabeth I, he built an improved machine that increased the number of needles per inch from 8 to 20 and produced a silk of finer texture, but the queen again denied him a patent because of her concern for the employment security of the kingdom's many hand knitters whose livelihood might be threatened by such mechanization. The queen said to Lee: "Thou aimest high, Master Lee. Consider thou what the invention could do to my poor subjects. It would assuredly bring to them ruin by depriving them of employment, thus making them beggars." Most likely the Queen’s concern was a manifestation of the hosiers’ guilds' fear that the invention would make the skills of its artisan members obsolete. [Wikipedia)]

The white-bakers shall completely refrain from all innovation in baking as it is customarily practised in the town - Ordinance of the Middle Rhine bakers' guild federation 1604 [The European Guilds: An Economic Analysis, p439, Shellagh Ogilivie]

1632

King Charles I of England banned the casting of buckets, suggesting it might ruin the livelihoods of the craftsmen who were still making buckets the traditional way.

1666

If a cloth-weaver intends to process a piece according to his own invention, he must not set it on the loom but should obtain permission from the judges of the town to employ the number and length of the threads that he desires, after the question has been considered by four of the oldest merchants and four of the oldest weavers of the gild. -Woolen-weavers' Statute Amiens 1666 [The European Guilds: An Economic Analysis, p439, Shellagh Ogilivie]

1768

In Limehouse, on May 10th 1768: Charles Dingley’s wind-powered Sawmill was burnt down by 500 sawyers who claimed it was putting them out of work.
This was a highly organised act; decided on collectively beforehand. When the sawyers marched on the Mill, Christopher Robertson, Dingley’s clerk, confronted the crowd and asked them what they wanted. “They told me the saw-mill was at work when thousands of them were starving for want of bread. I then represented to them that the mill had done no kind of work that had injured them, or prevented them receiving any benefit. I desired to know which was their principal man to whom I might speak. I had some conversation with him and represented to him that it had not injured the sawyers. He said it partly might be so, but it hereafter would if it had not; and they came with a resolution to pull it down, and down it should come.”
The mill, the first steam-powered sawmill to open in London, had been operating since early 1767, but the installation of new machinery there during a slack period in the trade when large numbers of sawyers were out of work pushed them into action. [Rebel History Calendar]

1789

...infuriated woollens workers from the nearby textile town of Darnetal estimated at 200-300 strong broke through the picket of royal troops charged with guarding the bridges over the Seine River. Arriving in the manufacturing faubourg of Saint-Sever, these hand workers destroyed or burned English and English-style machines in the district's warren of workshops and proto-factories. The large and newly formed establishment of Debourges and Calonne & Company, which made cotton velours, was invaded by 300-400, who had to break down the heavy wooden front door with paving stones to get at the machines. Thirty machines were demolished and the cording section of the enterprise sacked before the firm's own workers repelled the mob with weapons distributed by the owners...Despite such spirited defense of new machinery, hundred of spinning jennies and a number of recently constructed carding machines were wrecked before the city's militia arrived to confront the crowds. Five were killed in the clash... Martial law was declared after another series of riots in Rouen and Sotteville led by artisans... machine breaking took place in Lourviers... Violence spilled northward into Picardy. Machines were destroyed widely in and around the woollens center of Abbeville where still English competition after 1786 had agitated a formerly docile, rurally based manufacturing labor force.
Popular unrest in northwestern France often featured intermittent machine-breaking. In July 1789, such activity was closely related to food shortages and to dissatisfaction with the political leadership of the city of Rouen. However, by October, according to a respected member of Rouen's legal community, artisanal mobilization stemmed almost exclusively from hatred of "the machines used in cotton-spinning that have deprived many workers of their jobs."
[The Path Not Taken: French Industrialization in the Age of Revolution, 1750-1830, p108-109]

1802

Kaiser Francis I blocked the construction of new factories in Vienna and banned the importation and adoption of new machinery until 1811. When plans were put before him for the construction of a steam railroad, he responded: “No, no, I will have nothing to do with it, lest the revolution might come into the country.”

1811

The Luddite movement—named after a supposed Leicester stockinger’s apprentice named Ned Ludham who responded to his master’s reprimand by taking a hammer to a stocking frame—began with the destruction of machines in the British lace and hosiery trades. Over the next few years the Luddites generally destroyed only machines that they considered innovations or that threatened employment. The British government took an increasingly stern view of any attempt to halt the force of technology and deployed troops against the rioters.

1830

The Swing Riots were a widespread uprising in 1830 by agricultural workers in southern and eastern England, in protest of agricultural mechanisation and other harsh conditions. It began with their destruction of threshing machines in the Elham Valley area of East Kent in the summer of 1830, and by early December had spread throughout the whole of southern England and East Anglia.
The first threshing machine was destroyed on Saturday night, 28 August 1830 and, by the third week of October, more than 100 threshing machines had been destroyed in East Kent. As well as attacking the popularly hated threshing machines, which displaced workers, the protesters rioted over low wages and required tithes, destroying workhouses and tithe barns associated with their oppression. They also burned ricks and maimed cows.
The rioters directed their anger at the three targets identified as causing their misery: the tithe system, requiring payments to support the established Anglican Church; the Poor Law guardians, who were thought to abuse their power over the poor; and the rich tenant farmers who had been progressively lowering workers' wages while introducing agricultural machinery. If captured, the protesters faced charges of arson, robbery, riot, machine breaking and assault. Those convicted faced imprisonment, transportation, and possibly execution.
The Swing Riots had many immediate causes. Prof. J. F. C. Harrison believed that they were overwhelmingly the result of the progressive impoverishment and dispossession of the English agricultural workforce over the previous fifty years, leading up to 1830. In parliament Lord Carnarvon had said that the English labourer was reduced to a plight more abject than that of any race in Europe, with their employers no longer able to feed and employ them.
The name "Swing Riots" was derived from Captain Swing, the fictitious name often signed to the threatening letters sent to farmers, magistrates, parsons, and others. He was regarded as the mythical figurehead of the movement.('Swing' was apparently a reference to the swinging stick of the flail used in hand threshing). The Swing letters were first mentioned by The Times newspaper on 21 October 1830.
[Wikipedia]

1870s

Elias Grove’s wheat-threshing machine was destroyed in a fire in Baltimore. Ten days later a letter arrived with a warning: “Mr. Grove: You will stop your other machine or next will be your life. We intend to stop steam threshing. We do not get enough work through the Winter and Summer.” A number of U.S. farmers had received similar threatening letters in the 1870s.

1895

The introduction of machinery in La Ferme cigarette factory led to a serious riot Saturday. The employes, who believed that the use of machinery would throw many of them out of work, smashed the machines and hurled the fragments out of the widows. They also threw a large quantity of cigarettes and manufactured tobacco into the streets. The police, aided by firemen and headed by the prefects, suppressed the riot and arrested a great number of the employes and their sympathizers, who aided them in the demolition of the machinery ana the destruction of other property. [San Francisco Call, Volume 78, Number 178, 25 November 1895]

1930s

The administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to slow the pace of mechanization. Of the 280 regulations issued by the National Recovery Administration, 36 included restrictions on the installation of new machines.

2018

Members of the Culinary Union in Las Vegas voted to authorize a strike if contract negotiations with casino operators failed to address concerns including job security and retraining regarding automation. “We support innovations that improve jobs, but we oppose automation when it only destroys jobs,’” said Geoconda Argüello-Kline, the union’s secretary-treasurer. A strike of 50,000 workers was averted with agreements that set goals regarding technology and automation for worker retention, job training, advance notice of implementation and severance packages
