Short few yes/no questions on covid compliance and audience return. Input form is the same. 
Website still does not open up. Could it be no checks in my area which is likely as NY theaters remain closed...
Most likely. The website has historically been solely for reporting assigned trailer checks. For a Friday trailer check, my assignments do not show up until Thursday night. I saw no changes to this relationship for the Tenet trailer checks. Also the website is now verites-analytics.com
Yes, you can only see data when shops (theaters) assigned to you, usually late in the eve day before film showing date. Email from your scheduler is still the only communication for avail upcoming checks, and/or questions for follow up.
PA is starting trailer checks, but I only see a few theaters listed. There are new schedulers. I was told my regular scheduler retired.
Regal Theaters considering closing all theaters. [www.usatoday.com]

From CBS Los Angeles:
Cineworld, which owns Regal Cinemas, says it is considering a temporary closure of its U.S. and UK locations.

It seems that theater chains break their leases easily due to this virus. You can read about some of these closures on the cinema treasures site. The small Bow Tie chain has closed several in the NYC tri state are and big exhibitor Showcase Cinemas closed it's Revere, MA theater which will be converted to an Amazon warehouse. Praying the theater biz can emerge soon....
Did anyone receive an e-mail from the new schedulers this past week? Started receiving them about 45 days ago and started to familiarize with their system. They had a few theatres listed, only MI just reopened this Friday, so there was no point in acting at the time. The last two emails stated that there weren't any available assignments, then nothing.
From Verites? Doesn't sound like their email pattern.
Yes. From the dispatchers that took on three of Cathy L 's states- MA, MI, PA and the District of Columbia. They're a husband and wife team that already covered a dozen other states. They sent an introduction e-mail at the end of August, stating Cathy had retired and that they have their own website to check for and request assignments. There was one check at the beginning of September, but nothing since. Wasn't able to do it since Michigan only just opened their theatres on 10-9.
As much of a hassle theatre checks are, I shall truly miss them. Pray the industry returns strong.
So, is there anyone aware of Verites current status? Was there any communication this past week?
With all Regal and some other theaters closed, there probably wont be much work until 2021, until the studios new/delayed releases.

I did get payment info for the work done.
So no one has seen any assignments since the one for 'Tenet'?
Mainly share the same sentiment-- miss doing the checks and hope and pray the industry strongly recovers- only did not consider them much of a hassle. Had it down to a system of doing a small circuit of three theatres on Friday. Liked when they had the select features or blockbusters that gave additional pay per screen. Then there were often the lobby checks that added to it. Along with special viewing and open checks, it made for a decent amount of income. Was better when Certified/Marketforce had assignments that could be done alongside them. Even did standees.
