Overview

• Bill Condon’s film adaptation of the Tony-winning musical opened in theaters Oct. 10, starring Jennifer Lopez, Diego Luna and Tonatiuh.
• Industry tracking projects a roughly $2 million opening from about 1,300 theaters, a result that could dampen Lopez’s awards campaign.
• Critics frequently single out Tonatiuh—and often Luna—for strong performances, while questioning the film’s tonal blend; aggregator scores hover near 60 on Metacritic and 80% on Rotten Tomatoes.
• Condon and production designer Scott Chambliss crafted the fantasy numbers in the style of Vincente Minnelli-era MGM musicals, relying on practical, old‑school setwork.
• Based on Roadside Attractions’ recent patterns, PVOD is expected around mid-November with a Hulu streaming debut projected for late January to early February 2026.
