The Business of Film: Movies for home viewing including Le Mans '66
With cinemas closed and the normal film business suspended, James Cameron-Wilson turns his attention to movies for home viewing, taking us through the home entertainment chart, topped by the film version of Downton Abbey. He examines new Netflix release Lost Girls, with Amy Ryan, and Blu-Ray release Le Mans' 66 (known as Ford v Ferrari in the US), which he recommends strongly.

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.

The Business of Film: Onward
James Cameron-Wilson looks at the UK box office, where takings are down 43% year-on-year. It's a disappointing opening at #1 for Pixar's latest animation, Onward, even though James adored it. 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.

The Business of Film: The Invisible Man
James Cameron-Wilson examines the latest UK box office chart. He recommends The Invisible Man which debuts at #1 as well as true-live environmental legal drama Dark Waters at #4. At #11 is French arthouse movie Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which is another tip from James. For home entertainment, he favours Terminator: Dark Fate which is, he feels, a return to form for the franchise.
