From Variety's box office update: ''In the Heights'' ''hasn’t fared much better with international audiences. The movie has been released in 31 overseas markets and foreign ticket sales have barely surpassed $2.1 million. At this rate, despite glowing reviews, the $55 million-budgeted movie will struggle to climb out of the red.'' (I wonder if ''In the Heights'' has opened in any Latin American countries yet.)

Before ''In the Heights'' opened, the Hollywood Reporter did a cover story about its charismatic and potential breakout star, Anthony Ramos, and noted: ''In success, the movie has a chance to become a cinematic cultural touchstone that Latinos, who over-index as moviegoers but are the most disproportionately underrepresented demographic in Hollywood, have been waiting for.''

“We haven’t had a movie that feels like 'Black Panther' or 'Crazy Rich Asians',” says Ramos, who on the ''Heights'' set was prone to kick off each day with the rallying cry, “For the culture!” or its variants, “For la raza!” and, “For my familia!”
