- COMMENTS:
-
- I had to adjust a couple of numbers in Weeks column after
- comparing my list with the New York Times.
-
- Dail Variety reports that overall the grosses for the top
- ten were about 8 to 10 percent off last year's Christmas
- weekend.
-
- Certain disappointments: HOFFA, TRESPASS, TOYS,
- DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN, and LEAP OF FAITH.
