In a letter to the leaders of the United States Senate and House of Representatives, they said the coronavirus pandemic had dealt a devastating blow to movie theatres and that without funds, "theatres may not survive the impact of the pandemic".

The letter was signed by more than 70 directors and producers along with the National Association of Theatre Owners, the Directors Guild of America and the Motion Picture Association.

The pandemic forced cinemas in US to close their doors in mid-March.

Big chains, including AMC Entertainment and Cineworld's Regal Cinemas, have reopened at reduced capacity in many US cities, but not in the biggest markets of Los Angeles and New York City.

Efforts to get Americans back into theatres have proved disappointing and Hollywood studios have delayed the release of big movies like Black Widow and Top Gun: Maverick to next year.

The letter said that 69 per cent of small and mid-sized movie theatre companies will be forced to file for bankruptcy or close permanently unless help is forthcoming.
