$Disney (DIS.US)$ 's “West Side Story’ was not the only new film to create disappointment this weekend. The box office results of the other two major new releases arriving in theaters –
$Netflix (NFLX.US)$ ’s “Don’t Look Up” and
$Amazon (AMZN.US)$ “Becoming the Ricardos” – are unknown because neither releasing company published the ticket sales for their respective films.
However, a Deadline report estimated “Don’t Look Up” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence grossed $700,000 from a 500-theater release while “Becoming the Ricardos” starring Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem absorbed $400,000 from a 400-venue release – both returns are rather flaccid considering the star power and marketing push they received.
