I saw the movie tonight.  I was not familiar with the Broadway show. I really enjoyed the movie.  It definitely stuck with me. In reading the synopsis of the stage musical online, I can see there are some changes, and I suspect the stage musical is superior.  But I am glad I saw the movie.

The movie flopped this weekend only making around $1 million. The local chain theater right by my house didn't even show it. Not a fan of going to Regal so I'm just going to wait for it to hit streaming which by the opening weekend will be quick.

I was pretty sure "puta from the block" would ruin the movie.  She doesn't have a fraction of the talent Chita Rivera had nor can she dance!

I agree that she is not a great singer or actress but she is a great dancer. To say she can't dance is totally wrong.

naaaahhh, I've seen Rivera, not only in Kiss but many other shows and I've seen Lopez, no way!

There are various levels of dancing. I think Lopez moves well for someone who is not a dancer. After having watched enough Broadway and classic movies, it is clear to my untrained eye that she could never compare to Chita Rivera, Gwen Verdon, Amy Spanger, or any newbie chorus dancer on Broadway. But, she does well enough for being a star in the movie version.

I read an opening weekend of just $840,000 from 1,300 screens.  For context, major Hollywood releases debut on 3,000-4,500 screens, and they were hoping for an opening weekend box office of $1.5-3 million.  It looks like you'll be able to see it on streaming sooner rather than later.

In my 30s, so old only by escort standards (at that time), I left a Regal theater downtown two separate times because it was too loud.  Never been back since.
