*reads article about Onward's opening numbers* I'm glad they are at least taking into consideration on how the whole Corona virus/flu concerns could be affecting movie attendance right now. I know for our theater we've been really dead.
Part of it is just because of the movie selections available. A few we've had for a long time, so the hype has died down for them. Then about half have been R-rated films... which makes it hard for teenagers to come see movie when there's nothing in their "age range" they want to see. And families are having a hard time because we haven't really had any true children's films. Sure, there's Sonic and stuff... but even then... they tend to lean a bit on covering adult subjects that aren't always child friendly (depending on how the parent feels about it).
