  • The United States had its first real weekend back at the movies with the reopening of theater heavyweights AMC and Regal -- but film fans made only a timid return in a country which continues to register more than 40,000 new cases of coronavirus a day. Leading theater operator AMC reopened 100 cinemas last week, and expects to open a further 300 within the next two weeks while Regal also opened its doors Friday but did not release figures. The country's third largest chain, Cinemark, had begun a gradual restart on August 14 and accelerated this weekend. Several major states, first and foremost California, New York and New Jersey, have nevertheless not yet authorized the reopening of cinemas and have not given a timetable. During this first test weekend, the North American box office (Canada and the United States) passed the $5 million mark for the first time since March 15, taking $6.6 million, according to specialist site Box Office Mojo. By comparison, in normal times weekend ticket sales seldom fall below $100 million, according to Box Office Mojo. The first major production to attempt a release after a five-month hiatus was thriller "Unhinged", starring Russell Crowe as a frustrated motorist who takes road rage to extremes. Although it was almost the only one on screen, the feature had to make do with $4 million in North American box office receipts for its second week of release, the first with a large number of theaters (1,823), according to Box Office Mojo. "Unhinged" is the first film to gross over $1 million in the US and Canada in a single weekend since March. In a sign of film fans' reluctance to return to a closed theater, the specialist firm Exhibitor Relations noted that the top five sites in terms of ticket sales this weekend were all drive-ins, open-air cinemas where people stay in their vehicles during the screening. Before the restart, the National Association of Theatre Owners had published on Friday a health protocol covering 2,600 theaters and 30,000 screens. It provides in particular for mandatory face masks, social distancing, except for people coming together, and a ventilation system in working order. tu/ybl/st/mtp
