Description
I took no doubt that this crisis would considerably accelerate the consumer's lifestyle transitions from the "physical" to the "mobile" and our startup SMART CINEMA (Mobile Movie Theatre), a direct-to-consumer mobile platform devoted to exhibiting theatrically released movies, should step up and play much bigger roles to serve the demands. As of today, Smart Cinema has screened almost 500 new theatrical films and extended its services from Greater China to North America and South Korea. "I do like what Andy Grove said: Bad companies are destroyed by crisis. Good companies survive them. Great companies are improved by them." and have busily been preparing for the days after Covid-19.
