See! He didn't know what you were saying without the subtitles.

And the movie doesn't have subtitles, so thanks for proving my point.

The movie doesn't have subtitles because it doesn't need subtitles. You can tell what people are saying just by looking at what they're doing.

20th Century Studios/Amblin/Disney’s West Side Story grossed $800K last night in Thursday night previews that began at 5PM at 2,820 locations. Industry projections for Steven Spielberg’s first feature musical are between $12M-$17M.

West Side Story‘s Thursday night matches that of Universal’s Dear Evan Hansen which also made $800K from 2,700 theaters from showtimes that started at 7PM. Warner Bros. didn’t hold previews for its Lin-Manuel Miranda musical In the Heights back in June.

Ouch!

WSS skews older, and that demographic doesn't always rush out to see a new movie on Thursday night...

We'll have a better idea by Sunday.

Cremildo · 12-10-2021, 02:52 PM

My 18 million prediction goes down the drain. This will not open bigger than House of Gucci.

Pours one out for our fallen homies: the musical genre.

If that's what they are banking on, they are going to be SOL because that older crowd isn't going back to the theaters now, period.

Maybe they're just waiting for the right movies?

I want to see West Side Story and Don't Look Up but both movies are 2.5 hours without trailers??? So many lengthy movies this year and most of them felt longer than the runtime.

I’ve heard that Don’t Look Up kinda drags at certain points, compared to WSS which, speaking from my own experience, barely had any weak points during the runtime barring a late scene before the climax. I only checked my phone twice for the time because I was surprised how much they were progressing into the story in such a quick manner, and I knew the film was like 2hr30mins

I’d see Don’t Look Up if AMC or Regal were showing it. I’ll just wait for Netflix.

I think Cinemark is the only one who plays Netflix films.

Yeah, they have it and a few other smaller chains are playing it near me: Alamo Drafthouse, iPic Theaters, ShowBiz, and Cinepolis.

I think Landmark Theaters also shows Netflix shows...
