Sitting super close to strangers in a dark room? In this coronavirus climate?

Per data from Variety, the North American box office had its worst weekend in about two decades, thanks, of course, to the alarming spread of the novel coronavirus across the world.
This historically low figure comes at a time when many prominent movie theater chains have either closed completely, or are operating at half capacity, in order to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Pixar’s Onward wound up winning the weekend with a mere $10.5 million, while Christian drama I Still Believe came in second with $9.5 million. The Hunt, which was already marred in controversy long before its release, finished in fifth with $5.3 million.
