I work in Hollywood and the top two agencies have just cancelled all external meetings

CAA and WME have cancelled all external meetings meaning if you don't work there you are not over going there for a meeting.
For big agents to not have their top clients come over for suck up/stroke fests means a lot here.
All the pitch meetings will probably turn into phone or video conference calls.
I don't know how the studios will handle all the production going on.
If they shut down current productions you know it's getting/going to be very bad.

The new Bond has already been pushed back. We were all set to gear up for Summer Movie Season, but if Black Widow gets pushed back as well, that will be a real bad sign.
I bartend part time at a theatre in St Louis.
