Chu-directed, Lin-Manuel Miranda musical In the Heights for the top spot at the weekend box office, $11.7M to $11.4M. It is a defeat no one really saw coming.

‘Spiral’ Leads Slow Weekend at the BO!!

At a time when the box office looked to be making progress, especially with No. 2 chain Regal reopening more theaters, it was a downer of a weekend.

This despite the fact that it’s the 6th No. 1 opening … Continue reading ‘Spiral’ Leads Slow Weekend at the BO!!
