LOS ANGELES, Calif. – While entertainers share their horror over the Boston Marathon bombings, Hollywood as a whole presses on.

There was no mention of the deadly blasts Tuesday at the National Association of Theater Owners convention in Las Vegas.

New York’s Tribeca Film Festival is set to open Wednesday night as planned, though organizers issued a statement Tuesday offering thoughts and prayers for the victims of the two explosions that rocked the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring more than 170.

Boston native Mark Wahlberg attended a New York screening of his new film, “Pain and Gain,” Monday night, and the end-of-the-world Tom Cruise-Morgan Freeman thriller “Oblivion” is set to open Friday as scheduled.
