Look what happened to West Side Story, that was a classic BRM.
Monday, December 26, 2022 Christmas Day 2022
In the note
Last year, both Spider-Man and Sing 2 did what you would expect a Christmas film to do (and then some), but The King’s Man, American Underdog, A Journal for Jordan, West Side Story and Licorice Pizza all struggled and didn’t come close to the business we’ve seen from similar titles over the lucrative Christmas period.
Friday, December 13, 2024 Second weekend of December 2024
In the note
West Side Story and Richard Jewell are a couple of examples, even Tyler Perry when he was generating hit after hit struggled on this weekend (and it was a Christmas themed movie).
