Tracking and buzz. Generally, about discussing the anticipation for upcoming movies — to which coronavirus in extremely on topic.   
 

I’m aware of the coronavirus thread, and I post there about general virus related stuff. But, sorry if you don’t like it, Coronavirus is probably gonna be the single most important box office story for the next 3 months or so. Discussing corona impact on NTTD makes sense in the NTTD thread. Same for BW, Onward, World Tour, Mulan, F9,  etc. Discussing the impact on a club’s chance of success makes sense in that clubs thread. Discussing possible impact on dailies or weekends #s will make sense in daily and weekend threads. You’re gonna see it everywhere because it’s going to be on topic to everything.

it doesnt make sense to try to predict what will happen in 3 weeks no , it doesnt it doesnt make sense for people to make theories and scenarios, just let the situation unfold on its own is this really hard to do ?

Literally, this entire web site is all about predicting what will happen 3 weeks from now at the box office. Where's the fun in waiting to see what happens instead of making predictions and speculations? I get you don't like seeing people talk about the virus, but please stop acting as if it's ridiculous to talk about a pandemic, especially when it comes to public places like movie theaters.

Onward is being advertised so heavily here in Vegas that you’d assume it was one of the hotels 😂

 

It’s everywhere, constantly.

can we just stop the speculations/theories for once ?  lets just wait and see, speculations will not make or break anything

Speculation?

 

THEORIES?

 

It's called science. And math. And critical thinking.

 

Look it up.

I guarantee we’ll see a breakout, probably multiple. But I also know there’d be a lot of resistance of closing stuff by certain groups until it’s too late.

 

i haven’t but I don’t think Coronavirus is the main reason if Onward underperforms OW.

 

Movie theaters don't have to close for people to want to avoid them.

 

I'll agree Coronavirus won't be a huge factor on Onward's OW. My statements were in regards to Onward's legs.

Imo (and I'm just talking about studio's best interests, I'm not trying to bring debate of the virus outbreak itself into this thread) they really should push back some of the big ones a couple months (Bond, Widow, maybe Fast). I don't think the June releases and beyond should start worrying too much, and I think it's a bit late for the March releases to do anything (sad, because I really think Mulan/AQP2 could be really really huge) but especially movies like Widow, Fast, and Bond that are going to rely heavily on overseas, push them to July/August/September

scenarios /theoris create more panic , i can see why some people do it, but to start and saying that they will reshelude and black widow will move to say july ww2, to august etc etc while it could really happen , its really really obsessive

If you don't want to engage in discussion about how a real-world crisis could affect a $40 billion dollar industry, you're in the wrong place.

the march one wont movie, unless something really bad happens, and studios had more benefit, as for the april/may movies, let see how march will continue first

mate whats your problem ?

I don't have a problem. You're the one who seemingly wants to pretend there's no global crisis unfolding.

ps its just seems to me that you dont understand the point that i try to make, but hey maybe i am not explaining well

We won't have any idea how a massive Coronavirus outbreak will affect the box office until it, you know, happens. That's why these are called "unpredictable events." Could be minimal, could be major. I doubt we'll be seeing anything being released in the next few weeks getting pushed back though.

[BeastByTheBay]

I don't think it'll have a "big" impact as of now but one thing that would be absolutely disastrous is if a Coronavirus outbreak occurs at a theater location.
