US Box Office Weekend Report 13 - 15 March 2020: Onward remains at the top while Bloodshot enters at number 2 in the lowest grossing box office in 2 decades

US Box Office Weekend Report 13 - 15 March 2020:  Onward remains at the top while Bloodshot enters at number 2 in the lowest grossing box office in 2 decades
Onward
As cinemas close and people decide to remain indoors due to the global coronavirus pandemic Pixar's Onward remains at the top while the Vin Diesel starring Bloodshot is the top new entry at number 2.

Onward

Pixars latest film is definitely feeling the effects of deserted cinemas as it takes only $10.6 Million on its second weekend of release.

This is down nearly 75% from last weeks total and puts the movies total at $60.3 Million.

One small glimer of hope is that Pixar films do tend to have longevity and providing the cinema closures in many US states is lifted in April and the schools might still be closed this movie could make money late in its run.

Bloodshot

Bloodshot

Many new films have had their release dates moved due to the viral outbreak but this movie still got a release, and maybe coupled with bad reviews and word of mouth the movie enters at number 2 but to only $9.1 Million.

The road ahead does not look good for the movie and the studio may just cut its losses in the coming weeks and put the film on streaming way before expected.

I Still Believe

The faith based movie has a good opening weekend and makes its debut at number 3 with $9.1 Million.

The Invisible Man

Falling to number 4 is the Universal monster movie which takes $5.8 Million over the weekend.

This puts the movies total gross at $64.3 Million after 3 weeks of release and you cant help thinking the movie would be over the $100 million mark in a normal market.

Universal have announced that the movie will be released on streaming for $19.99 this coming Friday so it will be interesting to see what effect this has on the film box office performance, even with all the cinema closures.

The Hunt

Making its debut at number 5 is this Craig Zobel directed movie which takes $5.3 Million over the weekend.

Jumanji: The Next Level

14 weeks on the the Jake Kasdan directed movie is the longest running film on the box office and with $316.7 Million it is also the highest total grossing film this week.
