Titanic drowns
LOS ANGELES (AP) — E.T., phone
home: You’ve been bumped down to
No. 3 on the all-time domestic box
office list.
Titanic topped the North American
box office for the 10th weekend in a
row with $21 million, according to in
dustry estimates Sunday by Exhibitor
Relations Co. Inc.
That gives the film a total of
$402.5 million, good enough to pass
E.T. The Extra Terrestrial at $399.8
million and move into the No. 2 spot.
James Cameron’s epic, which has
14 Academy Award nominations,
trails only Star Wars and its $461 mil
lion at North American theaters since
it opened in 1977.
That includes the gross from its
re-release in a refurbished version
last year.
“At its present rate it, it should top
Star Wars before the Oscar awards
(on March 23) and that would give it
another boost,” said Robert Bucks-
baum, publisher of Reel Source, a
weekly industry newsletter.
Another phenomenon at the the
aters is the resurgence of the “date
crowd” movie, Bucksbaum said,
meaning romantic, nonviolent films
with wide audience appeal.
That category included The Wed
ding Singer, which was No. 2 with
$12.7 million. The comedy is
the romance between a singer
by Adam Sandler and a waiti
trayed by Drew Barrymore
Estimated grosses for the
movies at North American
for Friday through Sunday:
1. Titanic, $21 million.
2. The Wedding Singer, $12.7
3. Sphere, $7.3 million.
4. Good Will Hunting, $6.4 r
5. Senseless, $5.5 million.
6. As Good As It Gets, $4.5 m
7. The Borrowers, $4.3 mill :
8. Palmetto, $3 million.
9. The Apostle, $2.4 million.
10. L.A. Confidential, $2.3 mfi
