- COMMENTS:
-
- In one month HOME ALONE 2 has gone blockbuster (more than
- $100 million).
-
- I for one am impressed by the legs PASSENGER 57 is showing.
-
- I would imagine no one is too pleased with the performance
- of THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN, which opened to $10 million
- and fell 50% in one week. Not a sign of a big money maker.
-
- A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT has done remarkably well considering
- its arthouse quality and limited distribution.
