Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the global economy, including the entertainment industry. NOVO Cinemas, a leading cinema chain in the Middle East, has been severely impacted by the pandemic, resulting in a significant decline in revenue and footfall. The purpose of this research is to develop a strategy for business recovery in NOVO Cinemas. Amidst the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic's profound impact on the global economy and the entertainment sector, NOVO Cinemas, a prominent cinema chain in the Middle East, finds itself grappling with substantial declines in revenue and attendance. Recognizing the urgent need for a path to recovery, this research endeavors to develop a comprehensive strategy tailored specifically for NOVO Cinemas. Motivated by the imperative to navigate the unprecedented challenges posed by the pandemic, the study seeks to analyze the current market dynamics and the unique ramifications experienced by the cinema industry. It aims to uncover the underlying factors contributing to NOVO Cinemas' vulnerabilities while also identifying potential avenues for revitalization and growth. Hypothesizing that a multifaceted approach encompassing technological integration, revenue diversification, and a customer-centric ethos can pave the way for NOVO Cinemas' resurgence, the research adopts a rigorous methodology. It employs a combination of qualitative and quantitative analyses, including market surveys, financial assessments, and consumer behavior studies, to glean actionable insights. The results of the study reveal nuanced insights into NOVO Cinemas' strengths, weaknesses, and untapped opportunities. It underscores the significance of embracing innovative technologies, exploring new revenue streams, and prioritizing customer satisfaction as pivotal elements of the recovery strategy.  In conclusion, the research underscores the critical importance of proactive adaptation and strategic foresight in overcoming the challenges wrought by the pandemic. By offering pragmatic recommendations tailored to NOVO Cinemas' unique circumstances, this study not only provides a roadmap for its recovery but also contributes novel insights that can inform the broader strategies of cinema chains in the region.
