Morphine Prince 109,729 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Ticket sales in North America hit their lowest levels in more than two decades, generating roughly $55.3 million between Friday and Sunday. Box office numbers have not been this low since the Sept. 15 to 17 weekend in 2000 ... Receipts dropped 45% from last weekend while only one movie, Disney-Pixar’s “Onward,” made more than $10 million over the three-day stretch. The steep decline pushed the year-to-date box office down almost 9%, according to Comscore. Domestic revenues were inevitably going to plummet this weekend because AMC and Regal, two of the biggest movie theater chains, and several other circuits like Alamo Drafthouse and Arclight, cut capacity in individual auditoriums by 50% to avoid crowding in wake of the pandemic. Reducing the amount of tickets sold per theater helped multiplexes comply with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for “social distancing.” Theaters also kept room between rows and seats to ensure patrons had ample space.

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Onward dropped over 70% compared to its opening week, last week. It's so unfortunate. Especially because Pixar always brings quality to the movies. I wonder if Disney will re-release it at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
migamiga 12,102 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Sucks for the people who will be affected by this but also glad to know that people are taking social distancing seriously.

Meredith Grey 3,220 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I just saw Onward a few days ago and the theatre was a lot less full then usual. Same thing when i saw the hunt last night. It’s a shame this is happening now because those movies were both really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franch Toast 27,745 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Well, my state in the US has just ordered all movie theaters to shutter, along with restaurants, bars, fitness centers, etc. (Restaurants can still offer delivery and takeout.)
