so if you look at what nbc universal is going to break new ground tomorrow. it's a pretty monumental day in the film industry where a mainstream consumer movie in trolls is going to skip the theaters i think this plan was going to give jeff shell and the team at universal pictures a lot of credit for being willing to try this it's a unique circumstance a lot of the marketing dollars set in motion for "trolls. you have kids and family stuck $20 direct to consumer tomorrow is interesting i'm certainly rooting for them to do well i think this is an important model for the industry but, andrew, you asked the question of, okay, when theaters reopen and people don't want to go to them, is there a model where you say, okay, if you're a disney+ subscriber or you're a peacock subscriber or an hbo max subscriber, do you try to market movies at 20 or $30 premium? you think about it like sunday ticket you had to have directv to subscribe to sunday ticket you think of ufc you can't get ufc matches on streaming unless you're an espn subscriber it's possible you move to tha

other films end up being eligible as well >>> speaking of streaming battles, our parent company nbc universalas found itself in a fight with theaters saying the seek well to "trolls" had been more profitable because of the on demand release. saying when theaters reopen, they expect to release films in theaters and on demand leading amc to ban the release globally. saying they've made no statement to the couldnntrary going forward, we expect to release films to theaters as well as on demand as it all makes sense. i think for 90 days, those theaters have exclusivity. they can take you out of theaters and you have no recourse this is a sign of the times as people's watching behavior is changing and what the consumer wants is changing too. >> "trolls" worked out have you rented that for the family >> we did. the day it opened. >> we haven't done it yet. we've talked about it and hope to the issue is the margin for all of the media company yes, "trolls" has worked to some degree when we talked about it on the air yesterday or the day earlier. the idea that you spend $20 on a film, if you had gone

amc theaters largest chain in the u.s., will no longer screen any films made by universal, under nbc universalmbrella, this goes back to "trolls world tour ." the nbc jeff, because of trolls success online, we will release movies on both formats. meaning big screen and streaming as well. this according to amc ceo is not in line with their business model. because, you know there is a thing called theatrical window, usually movies are released on the big screen. then it goes on to streaming. you get the big ticket numbers, buying cinema tickets. then you get the digital sales but in the future if you have both, amc's business model is obviously under threat, right? stuart: i can see that. how and when, in what way are they ever going to open again. a the the loot of pressure there. would you go to movie again anytime soon? susan: depends what movie. i get scared with the sticky bubble gum on the floor, popcorn everywhere. i never liked it. it is even worse now i would say. stuart: they will clean it up, they will clean that up, that's for sure. susan thanks. look at the market please. still goin

dan, nbc universal launched a new streaming service, peacock, to comcast customers.mpare it, have you seen it? how does it compare to netflix or disney? how is it doing? >> it's a great question. i think streaming right now, we are seeing 20%, 25% more viewership and potential subgrowth. i think it's a good time for them to enter the race. 15,000 hours of content, so i think for them right now it's going to be about trying to get subscribers. we think ultimately 20 to 25 million the first six, nine months but ultimately it's an advertising model. when you look at netflix, they continue to be king of the hill but look at disney. i think its biggest competitive threat to netflix is disney. i think right now, they are on a trajectory for 65, 70 million subs by the end of the year. remember, you got hbo coming out next month. stuart: i see netflix down over 20 bucks. what's the story there? is that just some profit taking after its terrific run? >> yeah. profit taking going into earnings next week. that stock has been enfuego and continues to be one that's benefiting wit

nbc universal's peacock service available today but basically no original content, because production has been shut down not only in the u.s. but around the world. we were going to see original content including alec baldwin, christian slater, demi moore, a series produced by tina fey, all of that put on hold until next year. you are going to get all the classics, things like, you know, "30 rock," "parks and recreation," "law and order." you know the shows. the only bright spot, maybe a reboot, i know you will be excited about this, of "punky brewster" and "saved by the bell." premium service starts at $4.99 but that comes with commercials. commercial-free will be $9.99 a month. they have also been hit hard, of course, by the olympics in tokyo being postponed this year. that was going to be a big part of the presentation on this new streaming service. so this is just a runway, says nbc, for next year. stuart: victim of the virus. ash, thanks very much. check the markets. we have come back a bit on the dow industrials. now we are down 470 points. have a look at the ten-year treasury yi

nbc's joe fryer got an exclusive inside look at what they're doing at the university of washington'sal center in seattle. >> reporter: we've seen dramatic images of people in seattle rushed to the hospital. it's hard to see what happens next in a place treating patients. >> we're in the hot zone. we have about 20 patients on this ward. >> reporter: dr. seth cohen and his team use their own camp to exclusively show us potentially lifesaving steps taken inside the covid-19 ward at the uw medical center northwest campus. here they created hot zones for coronavirus patients where personal protective equipment is required and cold zones where it's not. >> this is the cold zone. what we've done is really cocooned the nursing station in some protective plastic with windows where we can still see what's going on on the floor. >> reporter: before going into the hot zone, they suit up, and when leaving they take off their equipment under the watchful eye of an observer who makes sure they're doing it correctly. they call this person a dofficer. >> what does that extra set of eyes mean? >> you

. >>> we want to bring in an nbc news public health analyst and the director of the national center for disaster preparedness at a university is a formal and informal adviser over the past decades. doctor, good morning. good to see you. >> morning. >> we want to dive right in. from a public health perspective, are we ready to reopen at this point? >> well, i don't think so. you know, there's many people who have much stricter ideas about what is safe and when it will be safe to reopen, which include a lot more testing than the government is proposing. i'm concerned, actually, that we have a long ways to go before we get there. secondly, we do need rules for how we're going to function in the workplace, including more social separation, wearing of masks, so on, and making sure people who are ill are not coming to work. these things, why they're theoretically available, the fact is, the president has repeatedly told us they'd be ready. they'll be ready next week, et cetera. we have a ways to go before we have enough testing capability to make sure everyone is safe in the workplace. >> doctor, you talk about our desire to have

nbc's tom brokaw. >>> let's bring in professor at princeton university eddie claude jr.with us as well. eddy, i will start with you. what are you looking at and what is standing out to you as we are watching this catastrophe unfold? >> well, you know, mika, i'm trying to grapple with how we're going to deal with death. people are having to grieve in private. what does it mean to sit shiva? what does it mean not to have the second line? i'm thinking about marsalis's father, ed marsalis. we have our public rituals around death, and people are having to die alone and people are having to grieve alone. for 18 years we had a policy where we would not photograph the military fatalities coming home with flags draped over the coffins because we wanted to hide death, but we're not going to be able to hide it now. so we're going to have to develop public rituals so that we can grief appropriately. because those of us locked away from our loved ones and those loved ones who have to die alone require something more of us. had is more than simply a war. it has something to do with th

nbc bay area news. >>> we want to get back to the numbers and specifically the death toll here. the projected death toll. these graphs come from the university of washington. what you're looking at here, it looks at the projected deaths for all 50 states. for example, here's new york. you're going to start with a solid line. here's what's already happened in term of overall death. the dotted line is projected of what's to come ahead. the prediction here is that new york's death rate will peak on april 9th which is this thursday, with 878 deaths that single day. after that, they should start dropping. let's look at california now. our projected peak is in ten days with 70 total deaths. here's us and the projected peak in ten days at 70 total deaths on that day alone, on april 17th. then we should start dropping. florida issued a shelter-at-home order. this is just one projection out of the university of washington. >> we are flattening the curve but it's also stretching, just one thing that makes projections so dicey. in a news conference, governor newsom says we are slowing the spread which means our peak is yet to come. >> that's why i just
