- COMMENTS:
-
- Not a very good opening for TOYS, which is showing signs of
- being the major stinker of the season.
-
- LEAP OF FAITH also opened quite low, considering the number
- of Steve Martin fans out there.
-
- MALCOM X and DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN appear to be running
- out of momemtum.
-
- DRACULA is off the list.
-
- On the other hand, ALADDIN only showed a slight drop in
- sales from the previous weekend.
-
- I am still dumbfounded by the success of HOME ALONE 2.
-
- This coming weekend is a long one with Christmas on Friday,
- many people in the U.S. will have Christman Eve off, too.
