The regime of Covid-19 testing will cost more than $1.5 million a month once cameras start rolling at Pinewood Atlanta Studios, home to big-screen hits like “Avengers: Endgame”

An app tracks workers’ symptoms between tests, and a badge system prevents anyone without a negative test result from opening doors on the lot.
