North American audiences are not staying away from theatres amid virus concerns, according to the weekend's box office numbers. LOS ANGELES -- North American audiences are not staying away from theatres amid virus concerns, according to the weekend's box office numbers. Disney and Pixar's "Onward" topped the charts as expected and the Ben Affleck basketball drama "The Way Back" also opened normally.
The studio expects it to continue performing well with spring breaks starting for many students and families next week. The rest of the charts also looked normal, even with recent virus-related shake-ups in the entertainment industry, including the cancellation of the South by Southwest festival and the decision to push back the release of the new James Bond film "No Time to Die" from April to November.
Affleck's performance was well-received by critics, and the star has been unusually candid about his own real-life struggles with alcoholism in the press in the weeks leading up to release. Industry analysts are keeping an eye on the numbers as the news continues to develop around the outbreak.

That's a hard no...
