Expectations for its opening weekend had been as high as twice that amount.įilmmaking is, of course, a uniquely collaborative art. The film’s estimated take for its debut weekend is around $10 million, despite its having had a production budget of about $100 million and a likely larger marketing cost. The legendary director’s remake, which bears the original’s same name, has come up short at the box office. Spielberg may be wishing that he had chosen a different flick to try and reconfigure. Just released is Spielberg’s remake of directors Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise’s 1961 enduring musical film classic “West Side Story” (music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.) Steven Spielberg is the most recent one to have a go at it. This hasn’t stopped New Hollywood from continuing to give it a try.
Remakes of iconic films are rarely able to match, or even come close to, the level of artistry, entertainment value, and outright magic of their original movie counterparts.
