I think most or all conventions will survive, luckily- theaters have the huge disadvantage of overhead- they have to pay rent and/or taxes, etc., regardless of whether they are open, or how bad their business is. It sucks to have the lost income (I sell at a handful of conventions each year, and have definitely missed the income), but I'm assuming SDCC doesn't have to pay for the venue, etc., if the convention doesn't happen. It's a bummer, but this is very much the right thing to do. I haven't gone to SDCC in something like 15 years, and even then, it was jam-packed. I'm glad they're not even trying to recklessly have the Con happen. On the plus side, that means that the portion of the production runs of SDCC exclusives that would have been sold at the con will most likely be sold online.
