The increasing coronavirus infection rates have been a thorn in the side of theatrical box offices and studios for the past two years, generating hesitancy within audiences when larger crowds factor into the equation. While prevalent, concerns around the virus are not stopping some highly anticipated films from performing well at the domestic box office. Scream is a prime example, earning roughly $31.5 million at the end of its opening weekend, becoming the first new film to sit atop domestic box offices at #1 since the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
