Product Description: In Disney and Pixar's ONWARD, two teenage elf brothers Ian and Barley Lightfoot (voices of Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) get an unexpected opportunity to spend one more day with their late dad and embark on an extraordinary quest aboard Barley's epic van Guinevere. Like any good quest, their journey is filled with magic spells, cryptic maps, impossible obstacles, and unimaginable discoveries. But when the boys' fearless mom Laurel (voice of Julia Louis-Dreyfus) realizes that her sons are missing, she teams up with a part-lion, part-bat, part-scorpion, former warrior – aka The Manticore (voice of Octavia Spencer) – and heads off to find them. Perilous curses aside, this one magical day could mean more than any of them ever dreamed.

Weekend Box-Office: Coronavirus Hits Domestic Box Office; Lowest Level in Over Two Decades

If last week the domestic box-office was relatively unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic, this weekend we're seeing a major impact, with drops between 60-80% for all releases, both old and new, as theater closings continue to rise. The total box-office this weekend amounted to an estimated $50.3 million, which is a 22-year low. It hasn't been this bad since the weekend of October 3-November 1, 1998.

Weekend Box-Office: ONWARD Disappoints With $40M Debut While THE WAY BACK Opens Soft

The Disney and Pixar animated film "Onward" is off to a slow start this weekend, but still managed to top the charts. Meanwhile, the other new wide release, Warner Bros' sports drama "The Way Back" also scored a lackluster debut. Overall, the box-office did not slow down much despite the Coronavirus scare, and most older releases had strong weekend-to-weekend holds.

In Theaters: ONWARD, THE WAY BACK, SWALLOW, FIRST COW and BACURAU

Disney and Pixar have released "Onward", their latest animated film, in theaters, and while the film is likely to be a surefire winner this weekend, there are concerns among pundits relating to how COVID-19 will impact the domestic box-office. The film is well received by both critics and audiences, and has already raked in $2 million from Thursday previews. The film is expected to finish the weekend with around $40 million from 4,310 theaters.

Another new wide release this week is the drama "The Way Back" starring Ben Affleck. The film is looking to score a $7 million opening weekend from 2,718 theaters.

Also, the Jane Austen adaptation "Emma" will expand into over 1,500 theaters.

In limited release it might be worth checking out the psychological thriller "Swallow" starring Haley Bennett, the period drama "First Cow" based on Jonathan Raymond's novel "The Half Life", and the Brazilian thriller "Bacurau".
