"Steven Spielberg’s 2021 “West Side Story” remake was a box-office disappointment with $76 million worldwide, a rare miss for the all-time box office king. After “The Fabelmans,” it’s less rare: After four weeks in theaters, Spielberg’s film grossed $6 million domestic."

No doubt that Spielberg did make a personal film, but damn, that is a cliff-worthy drop. Has to be his worst performing movie, ever, no?
I don't know about you guys, but I would not go see You Can Count on Me in the theater if it came out this year. I love that film to death, but it is a movie that was on the big screen because there was no streaming/cheap HD back in 2000.
It is interesting to see the domestic box office numbers of small Oscar movies. Like In the Bedroom cleared about $36mil back in 2001; Brooklyn in 2015 cleared around $38mil. Counting for inflation, that's a sizable fall. Licorice Pizza only cleared $17mil last year.
I would absolutely see You Can Count On me in the theater. I love seeing a movie in a theater, and it doesn't have to be spectacle to me (and yeah, I saw Tar, Banshees, Armageddon Time, White Noise, and much more in theaters the past few months).
My running joke is Tar would've done better if they'd named her Ava Tar and made that the title and siphoned some box office away from confused Avatar fans (awaits ban from future comments for pun crimes).

You're keeping the spirit alive! This year I saw Top Gun, Avatar, and Tar in the theater, so I'm doing the barest of minimums...

I'll allow it.
