Otakon also put out something today: https://www.otakon.com/info/monitoring-novel-coronavirus-2020/
They’re taking it seriously but not ready to cancel just yet. There’s still time for the situation to develop. |

I was expecting this might happen. Even more significant is that many movies may be delaying their releases from summer until later because people could be staying away from movie theaters. This would be especially true in China and the Chinese film market can really make a lot for a film. They're already doing it with the newest Bond film and I expect others may follow.
