Forbes on why "West Side Story" can't enjoy strong box office leg like "The Greatest Showman" Peterlee Dec 19, 18:42

{Putting aside the Spielberg factor, a star-free remake of West Side Story wasn’t surefire commercial dynamite even in a non-Covid time.} {nm} Peterlee Dec 19, 18:43

studios chose IP over stars 10-15 years ago. nobody to blame but themselves (but also every other adult-oriented movie is tanking this Xmas) fat bernie Dec 19, 19:43

(Scott Mendelson and Forbes are also a garbage hot take factory for teh clickz, more generally) {nm} fat bernie Dec 19, 22:05
