The Business of Film: The Hunt
James Cameron-Wilson examines a virus-hit box office, the last there'll be for some time with the country's cinemas closing. He reviews The Hunt, in at #3 and Misbehaviour, entering at #7. He discusses the way studios are reacting to the virus, moving earlier or straight to home release. For home viewing this week, James looks at Robert Bresson's 1945 film Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne. From next week, James will, understandably, concentrate on home releases.

In at #3 is Military Wives while a horror treatment of the old US TV series Fantasy Island makes #7. For home release James recommends Sidney Lumet's 1962 adaptations of A Long Day's Journey Into Night, just re-released.
