A dazzling widescreen adaptation and Spielberg's first musical, “West Side Story” was one of the year's most eagerly awaited titles. But “West Side Story” faced a challenging marketplace for both adult-driven releases and musicals. Starring newcomer Rachel Zegler and Ansel Elgort as Maria and Tony, “West Side Story” took in $4.4 million in 37 overseas territories. Spielberg’s film was a long time coming. 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.
