LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Overcoming bad, bad reviews,
Will Smith’s Wild Wild West
won the West and more, opening
with $36.8 million over a blister
ing Fourth of July weekend at
the box office, according to esti
mates yesterday.
Big Daddy with Adam Sandler
dropped to second place but still
reaped an impressive $26.4 mil
lion over the four-day holiday
weekend, while Tarzan also
remained strong with $19.2 mil
lion for third place for Friday
through Monday.
The South Park feature
opened to a respectable $14.8
million in fourth despite tougher
enforcement of the R rating,
which limited the audience.
Spike Lee's latest film, Summer
of Sam, opened to a lackluster
$7.8 million in eighth place.
Overall, the box office was up
16 percent from Independence
Day weekend last year, which had
Armageddon as the big opener,
easily keeping the year on a record
pace, said Paul Dergarabedian,
president of box office tracker

John Leguizamo reed
real summer of Sam
NEW YORK (AP) — He was
ust a pipsqueak then, a rail-thin,
;urly-haired goofball who was
alessed — or
:ursed — with a
;ly smile and a
S a 11 i n g - g u n
nouth.
John
LEGUIZAMO
Leguizamo was
14 in the sum
mer of ’77. New
York City was
sweltering. The
discos were hot
ter. And there was a maniac out
there with a .44-caliber handgun.
“I remember it. Yeah, I do,”
Leguizamo says. ‘‘It was coming
of age for me. That whole sum
mer, 1 was on a mission. I was
trying to de-virginize myself.”
At night, he remembers, he
would put on his Lothario outfit:
a three-piece Polyester disco suit
and an unbuttoned shirt with
huge lapels.
‘‘I would take my mother’s
mascara and draw a mustache
and a beard. I would go to clubs
with a fake ID from Times
Square. I would say, ‘Hey,
lemme in. I’m a midget, man!”’
Outside, he recalls, the bodies
continued to mount.
“There was paranoia. People
wouldn’t even hang out in the
streets. Lovers’ lanes were
empty. I used to bike there all the
time to see if I could learn some
thing — you know, through all
the fogged up windows. But
there wasn’t anything. It was
creepy.”
Twenty-two summers later,
Leguizamo has returned to those
murderous days in Spike Lee’s
Summer of Sam, a story about
neighborhood friends living dur
ing the Son of Sam’s bloody
reign. A former postal worker
named David Berkowitz was
arrested 22 years ago and con
fessed to fatally shooting six peo
ple and wounding seven others.
He later said he took orders!!
a neighbor’s black Labra
retriever named Sam.
Columbian-born Leguizai

He studied theater at
York University and dabble
stand-up comedy before ear

man, off-Broadway sh(
“Mambo Mouth” and “Spi
