Box Office: Steven Spielberg’s ‘West Side Story’ Sings Off Key With $10.5M Opening

Heading into the weekend, 20th Century and Disney had hoped the big-budget event pic — which hits the big screen 64 years after the iconic Broadway stage and 60 years after the first movie adaptation —

would clear at least $13 million domestically. Some tracking services had first-weekend estimates as high as $15 million more.was able to claim the No. 1 spot on the weekend chart ahead of Disney Animation holdover

Can you say pandemic? Release it on demand!!!

loved it

Marketed it wrong. They featured Spielberg & rehearsals, not story & the 2 leads. Narrative = sales. The narrative they showed: a musical getting made. Meh. Narrative people care about: Star crossed young lovers!❤❤❤

I remember Eli Wallach in The Holiday complaining that movie box office results were now being reported as if they were baseball scores. We should stop doing that and celebrate the worth of a movie by how inspiring it is or how it makes us feel.

It’s a great flick!!! See it! To all of you afraid of theaters due to Covid — really?! If the movie only made 10 million opening weekend… I can assure THERE IS NO ONE IN THE THEATERS! Stop the excuses. It’s a beautiful movie, gorgeous and… worth the price of a ticket. seeit

I wanted to watch this but my local theatre isn’t even screening it

I want to see it but don't want to return to theatres at the moment!

Everyone is saving money for Spider-Man
