Concerns of coronavirus doesn't appear to be impacting moviegoing in North America
” debuted this weekend to $40 million, enough to lead box office charts but still a somewhat disappointing start given the studio’s sterling track record when it comes to animated fare. Internationally, the film brought in $28 million for a global tally of $68 million.
So far, it doesn’t appear that concerns of coronavirus are impacting moviegoing in the U.S. “Onward” was expecting an opening between $40 million and $45 million even before the virus reached North America. Overall box office receipts were significantly down this weekend, but experts suggest it was the movies themselves — not fears of coronavirus — that stifled ticket sales.
The film, which cost roughly $21 million to make, was poised as a big-screen comeback for Affleck. His performance as an alcoholic construction worker who is recruited to become the head coach of a high school basketball team has been praised, but it didn’t get the level of reception that smaller dramas need these days to make an impact at the box office. Among opening weekend crowds, 64% were over the age of 35. Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros.
Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog” landed at No. 4, bringing in another $8 million. After four weeks in theaters, the animated family film has made an impressive $140 million. The blue speed demon, voiced by Ben Schwartz, has also been a draw overseas, where it has made $154 million. Globally, “Sonic” is nearing the $300 million mark with ticket sales currently at $295.6 million.
