That is not a large amount in a normal year. But the coronavirus health crisis has changed expectations in the movie business. Usually, movie theaters are filled throughout the winter holiday season in the United States. There are lots of releases and lots of people paying to see them. On Christmas Day alone in 2019, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker earned $32 million from filmgoers.
在正常年份这不是一个很大的数目。但是新冠病毒健康危机已经改变了电影业的预期。通常美国整个寒假期间电影院都是爆满。会有很多影片上映，也会有很多人掏钱观影。《星球大战：天行者的崛起》这部影片光在2019年圣诞节这天就拿下了3200万美元票房。

"This is a very weak theatrical opening," said David Gross of FranchiseRe, another market research company. Noting the many closed theaters and rising COVID-19 rate, Gross said, "The majority of moviegoers and fans have little choice but to watch the film on television. Early foreign openings have been weak as well."
FranchiseRe市场研究公司的戴维·格罗斯表示：“这是非常疲软的首映票房。”格罗斯提到了许多影院关门以及新冠肺炎感染率不断攀升，他说：“大多数影迷没有选择，只能在电视上观看这部电影。之前国外首映也很疲软。”
