But, cinema manager Craig Lucas said it's the perfect chance to "explore something new".

Boxing Day typically sees multiple big titles hit the screens, drawing crowds to one of the biggest days on the calendar for Forum 6 Cinemas in Wagga.

And while Wonder Woman 1984 and The Croods can satisfy that market to some extent, the upcoming months are still looking unclear.

"If you have a real good look at what is happening in the United States you can see that no one is releasing product into that environment," Mr Lucas said.

"It's been extraordinarily frustrating trying to get a handle on what was going to be released. Even to the point of our websites and flyers, we are only doing it a couple of weeks in advance because we just don't know what's going to happen. It was just unbelievable."

But, there is a silver lining to it all Mr Lucas said because incredible films are often passed over due to the market's saturation by blockbusters such as superhero films.

"We do have some really great movies out at the moment, and it's a chance for people to try something they might not normally watch," he added.

"We got The Dry starting on New Year's Day, which is just one of some excellent Australian content. We have also got The Buddy Games coming soon, which promises a laugh. We might not have sell-outs, but there are some brilliant films that people should go see."

Throughout the height of the pandemic, Mr Lucas adapted the business to ensure it could still run in some form when the public health orders allowed it to reopen in August.

This included running three days a week, but having school groups in on the days the complex was closed.

"We kind of became part of the school bubble there," Mr Lucas said. "Then we opened up fulltime for the holidays."

Forum 6 also introduced allocated seating to manage the number of patrons in each cinema.

"We are operating at 75 per cent capacity," Mr Lucas said. "The pandemic forced a lot of businesses to reevaluate how we run things. It's been good in a way."
