Even though the film was well-received, the Steven Spielberg film West Side Story has been suffering at the box office.

After being in theaters for three weeks, the film has made only $36 million worldwide, well below the $100 million budget.

According to analysts, the film took a hit because the film was marketed to an older audience, and that audience wasn’t quite ready to get back to theaters because of COVID.

West Side Story made its debut on Broadway in 1957 and has been remade about a dozen times since then.
