LOS ANGELES (AP) — Star Wars
fought off a challenge from the new
Clint Eastwood thriUer Absolute Pow
er to retain its first-place grip on the
box office with $21.3 million in ticket
sales, according to estimates Monday.
The 20-year-old space epic
dropped only 12 percent in its third
weekend while fending off compe
tition from the openings of at least
five major new films.
Absolute Power opened in sec
ond place with $16.8 million. It
stars Eastwood as a burglar who
stumbles onto a murder involving
the president.
Dante’s Peak dropped to third
with $14.3 million following a
record February opening last week.
The four-day holiday weekend
also was good for several critically
praised independent features. The
English Patient and Shine both
reaped the publicity of being nom
inated for best-picture Oscars.
The weekend take could push
the re-release of Star Wars near
the $100 million-mark. Last week
the souped-up film’s second de
but helped it become the first
movie to break the $400 million
domestic-gross mark.
The second part of the George
Lucas space trilogy, The Empire
Strikes Back, comes out Friday.
Chevy Chase’s Vegas Vacation
opened in fourth place with $13.1
million in ticket sales, followed by
Fools Rush In, another film seeking
to capitalize on the popularity of
NBC’s Friends. The sitcom’s
Matthew Perry co-stars with Salma
Hayek in the romantic comedy,
which received mixed reviews.
That Darn Cat, Disney’s re
make of a 1965 comedy, was sixth
with $6.5 million.
Jerry Maguire, nominated for
an Academy Award for best pic
ture, was in seventh place with
$5.3 million.
The English Patient, in eighth
place, grossed $5 million. Its per-
screen average jumped 123 per
cent over the previous week on
the strength of its Oscar publicity.
Scream was ninth with $3.6 mil
lion. Shine, about the turbulent life
of Australian pianist David Helfgott,
was 10th with $3.5 million. An Os
car nod helped boost its per-screen
average jump 240 percent.
Dangerous Ground, a drama
set in South Africa thatstan
per Ice Cube and actress Elis
1 lurley, opened outside of
10 with $2.7 million. Wl
Were King and Touch opens
single theater each and
make the top 10.

Autographed script
swiped from auction
BOSTON (AP) — An autographed
script of the last episode of “Cheers"
was stolen from a charity auction where
many of the guests wore party masks.
George Wendt, who played Norm
on the NBC comedy, donated the
script to the Handel & Haydn Society,
a classical orchestra and chorus. It
had been autographed by the entire
“Cheers” cast.
The script was stolen Saturday
night while a hotel security guard took
a telephone call. It had received a
high bid of $1,000.
“It does appear that an outside
person created an elaborate plan to
come in and steal it after reading in
the newspaper that we had the
script,” said Michael Jendrysik, the
society’s fund-raising director.
Many partygoers at the Four Sea
sons Hotel wore masks in keeping
with the theme, Carnival in Venice. Se
curity videotape is being studied.
Proceeds were to benefit 7,000
students in the Boston area.

a sense of fulfillment.
“Bobsledding has been an in
credible adventure for me. I’ve
learned so much in terms of my per
sonal development,” said the 38-
year-old heir to the throne of Mona
co. “When you are an athlete
competing at a high level, you get to
know yourself pretty well. In compet
ing with others, you get to understand
other people well, too.”
The prince, who represented his
nation on the bobsled team in the
1988 Winter Olympics, on Sunday
tested the new bobsled-luge run re
cently opened at Utah’s Winter
Sports Park.
Albert also is an international
competitor in sailing and equestrian,
but his obligations to his tiny Euro
pean principality will keep him from
next year’s Winter Olympics in
Nagano, Japan.

annual banquet Saturday.
Of the 47 movies in which Kotto
has appeared, he has played a police
officer 20 times, he said.
“After awhile, you start to feel like
you’re becoming a policeman, and
now I believe I am a policeman," Kot
to said jokingly. “I suspect everyone
I meet of committing a crime. Anyone
who talks to me, I think they're lying.”
Kotto's son is a San Diego po
lice officer, and his uncle died in
the line of duty with the New York
City Police Department.
