In the Heights star Melissa Barrera shows a brighter outlook on its box office failure after having previously expressed disappointment over its flop.
In the Heights star Melissa Barrera reflects on the film’s box office failure with a brighter outlook. Barrera played female lead Vanessa in the screen adaptation of the Lin-Manuel Miranda musical. Despite its hype and studio backing, In the Heights was a massive flop during its summer 2021 release, having only grossed just over $45 million against its $55 million production budget, falling well short of its reported $200 million break-even point.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Now, Barrera expresses her positive outlook on In the Heights’ box office result. Speaking to People, Barrera notes that In the Heights “ taught [her] a huge lesson – that [she has] no control over what happens when a movie comes out or when a show comes out.” After it all, Barrera still reports to be “proud of” the film which she feels she “belong[s]” in.
It really affected me. [But] it also taught me a huge lesson – that I have no control over what happens when a movie comes out or when a show comes out. The only thing I have control over is my experience and my feelings while making it and if I'm proud of it. I cannot let the stars not aligning, or whatever is happening with the world, take that away from me.
It seems time has drastically shifted Barrera’s opinion, as the rising star now sees the valuable aspects that drew her to In the Heights in the first place. These values aren’t unique to Barrera, but rather also expressed by critics who gave the Broadway musical adaptation nearly universal acclaim, praising many of its ensemble cast's performances, including Barrera’s. While it may not have the box office numbers to back it, In the Heights still resonated when it hit the screen.
Part of Barrera’s ability to see the In the Heights process as a learning experience rather than insult may stem from how her career has gone since. Having primarily acted in Spanish-language TV prior, save for Starz' Vida, the musical marked Barrera's first major steps into the Hollywood scene, following it up with 2022's Scream and its recently released sequel.
