Cannes: France Leads European Box Office Revival, Raising Hopes for Business Rebound Scott Roxborough Dom (Vin Diesel) and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) in F9.
“Cinema is back” the unofficial motto of this year’s Cannes Film Festival appears to be coming true, at least in Europe, where box office is resurgent, raising hopes for a rebound in the pandemic-battered theatrical business.
France just had its best weekend returns since the start of COVID, with 3.5 million tickets sold from Wednesday June 30 through Sunday, July 4. The result double the previous weekend and on par with equivalent figures from 2019 was helped by France’s La Fete du Cinéma promotional event, which sees theaters nationwide offer discounted tickets to kick off the summer season.

Overview
Over the past decade, attempts to address the overdose crisis in the U.S. have resulted in more restrictive opioid prescribing policies which, because they have reduced the overall availability of prescription opioids, have inadvertently led to a surge in the use of illicit drugs such as heroin.
Because these illicit opioids are often injected, they’re associated with higher rates of overdose than prescription painkillers, and, when unsterile injection equipment is used or shared, people are at risk of getting a serious infection or transmitting disease.
1 As of March 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined that 44 states; Washington, D.C.; one tribal nation; and one territory were experiencing or at risk of an acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) or HIV outbreak due to injection drug use.
