As Hollywood continues to take measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, spring’s most anticipated blockbusters have been postponed indefinitely and movie theaters around the globe have shuttered.
Now studios are opting out of reporting box office figures at all for the forseeable future, according to a statement from measurement firm Comscore, marking the first time the company has interrupted its weekly box office reporting since the early 1980s. “Due to this unprecedented situation, Comscore will be temporarily suspending our usual Sunday North American Top 10 Estimates, Global chart and commentary,” the statement read. “We will update the status of studio reporting on Monday.”
Last weekend, city officials in Los Angeles and New York ordered cinemas and other venues to close, causing box office receipts to plummet to historic lows.AMC, Regal and Cinemark, the three largest theater chains, all announced that they’d be shutting down nationwide, indefinitely.
