The film adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit Broadway musical “In the Heights” is struggling to find an audience. It is under-performing at the box office and, reportedly, isn’t having a huge draw on HBO Max, where it was simultaneously released the same day it opened in theaters.

There are several factors playing into why “In the Heights,” a genuinely great film that is vibrant and vital, isn’t connecting with audiences.
