Read moreTheatrical venues question 'no staged performance' rule
The arts community is questioning why theatres will not be able to stage live performances - but can open on 4 July.
Kevin Roach, runs The Deco in Northampton, said being allowed to open but not to stage anything was like "opening a pub without beer".
Peter Jay, owner of Great Yarmouth's Hippodrome Circus, said not being able to open on 4 July had "thrown a spanner in the works".
"The artists are not singing towards the audience which I think they were afraid of, and they are family groups doing all the acts, so it works well for us," he said.
A spokesperson for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said it was "doing all we can to support the sector through government grants, loans, the furlough scheme and the Arts Council's £160m emergency response package".
The spokesperson added: "We are working with the sector to get it fully back up and running as soon as possible and considering ways in which we may be able to support it further in addition to this unprecedented financial assistance."
The film is reinstated to the HBO Max streaming service with a strong new disclaimer.
