CES 2022 to Now End a Day Earlier Than Planned as Omicron Cases Surge

Organizers of the Global Technology and Gadgets Show said that CES will now end one day earlier than planned, after companies such as Amazon and General Motors withdrew from participating in Las Vegas events in person because of Omicron’s concerns.

The organizer of the event, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), said on Friday: “This step is an additional safety measure to the current health agreement for CES,” and announced that the event will end on January 7.

The spread of the highly contagious variant of Omicron has led to a dramatic increase in the number of people infected with COVID-19 worldwide, causing many people to reconsider their travel plans and leading to the cancellation of thousands of flights. The number of new COVID-19 cases in the United States has doubled. According to Reuters statistics, it reached a record high of an average of 329,000 people per day in eight days.

Due to concerns about new looms, many companies have already withdrawn from exhibiting in person at a virtual and personally planned event with more than 2,200 exhibitors starting on January 5th.

In the past few days, many companies, including Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Procter & Gamble, Alphabet’s Google, and Facebook’s parent company Meta Platforms, have also abandoned their face-to-face plans. Sony Electronics of the Sony Group said it will restrict staffing and attendance at events.

All attendees in Las Vegas will be required to be fully vaccinated and wear masks. According to the CTA’s statement, a COVID-19 test kit will also be provided at the venue.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
