Zegler has previously said that the role of Maria is ‘a huge responsibility’ that she did not take ‘lightly.’
‘To say you were one of 30,000 seen by Steven Spielberg is an honor,’ the actress said. ‘To get the role is an even bigger honor.’
Despite critical acclaim and two years of anticipation, Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story revival suffered a disappointing start at the box office last month.

Regardless, with a script by Tony Kushner and Rita Moreno returning to her breakthrough film 60 years later, the lavish $100-million production has already sparked significant Oscar buzz.
Six months ago, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights launched with $11 million six months ago, while Dear Evan Hanson debuted with $7.4 million in September.
West Side Story is among the most beloved musicals. The 1961 film, directed by Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise, made $43.7 million (or about $400 million adjusted for inflation) and won 10 Oscars, including best picture.
Hopes had long been pinned on Spielberg, with his song-and-dance spectacular, to bring back some of the movies’ mojo. Instead, little right now outside of Marvel releases is finding big audiences.
The film took in $4.4 million in 37 overseas territories. Because the film includes a transgender character, it was banned in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait.
David A. Gross, who runs the movie consultancy Franchise Entertainment, called the opening ‘soft.’
If West Side Story is going to be profitable, it will need to connect internationally as well domestically,’ Gross said in an email to AP. ‘So far, the first European openings have been good, but this is going to be a challenge with moviegoing conditions as difficult as they are.’
Spielberg’s film was a long time coming. Its release was delayed a year by the pandemic. It was developed at 20th Century Fox, which was acquired by the Walt Disney Co. shortly before production began. Days before its Lincoln Center premiere, the musical´s revered lyricist, Stephen Sondheim, died at the age of 91.
Second place for the weekend went to Disney’s animated Encanto, which held strongly in its third week, dropping only 27% from the previous weekend. It grossed $9.6 from Friday to Sunday, bringing its cumulative total to $71.3 million domestically and $80.5 million internationally.
