‘West Side Story’ barely makes it past $10 million at the box office

Even one of the greatest directors of all-time helming a critically acclaimed remake of an undisputed classic, which itself has been pegged as a serious awards season contender, still isn’t enough to overcome the box office struggles that continue to plague movies aimed towards older audiences.

There was hope when Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci debuted to $14 million, landing the top-grossing weekend for a drama since 2019, that things were finally looking up. Heading into this weekend, West Side Story was tracking for an opening that could have reached as high as $18 million, but it hasn’t even come close.
