After 60 years the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks is back on the big screen, under the direction of one of the biggest blockbuster filmmakers of all time, and set for a big opening.
"West Side Story," 20th Century Studios' remake of the 1961 classic musical, hits theaters this weekend and is expected to have a roughly $15 million opening in North America.
That would be a strong start for the film, which stars Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler and is directed by Steven Spielberg. But thanks to Spielberg and stellar reviews that are sparking significant Oscar buzz, "West Side Story" could even exceed those solid expectations this weekend.
