West Side Story | 10 DEC 2021 | RIP Stephen Sondheim | Comes to Disney+ March 2nd

No simultaneous release with HBO Max like the rest of these other 20th Century titles have so far? Must've been a good deal. I imagine they also paid them off well for full rights on Avatar 2 whenever its streaming release is ready to launch.

It’s on HBO Max (won’t be in 4K HDR though).

 

Disney used to do the same thing with Sky in the UK for some Disney titles. They both shared them, got them on the same day, but it looked like Sky could only do the absolute bare minimum when it came to promoting the Disney films they got.

I think this might be Spielberg's first film to hit Disney+ here in Ireland.

So WSS will have 12 weeks theatre exclusive window? Finally feel normal again, hope the expansion this weekend push and relatively quiet feb will push to movie pass 40m box office total. Not exactly the leg or total that people wish for but surely isn’t a disaster.

I guess this is getting that big expansion today. It went from 10 theaters on Thursday to 33 on Friday on Fandango in Los Angeles.

You mean the music created in 1957?

Costumes from this are on display in the Walt Disney Presents exhibit (their place to check out costumes and props from their movies within Disney World, usually around the time they come out) at Hollywood Studios:

I saw this movie twice in theatres, and yet it's only now that it's really registered that that was a long take. 

 

Okay, it might not be a real one and just put together with editing, but it's still impressive as fuck.

A lot of Spielberg films are actually filled with longer takes but the man is just so good at blocking out a scene and flowing with the story you tend not to notice them. They also don't come off as flashy/showy as some current ones.

The two examples that come to my mind especially are both from Jaws (Brody being browbeaten on the ferry, Brody and Hooper warning Vaughn about the great white).
