Scream 3 makes killing at box offic
Monday. Febn
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Scream 3,
billed as the last hurrah of the hit horror
franchise, had a killer debut of $35.2 mil
lion to top the weekend box office, ac
cording to industry estimates Sunday.
Scream 3 swooped into a movie mar
ket crowded with holdovers, grossing
more than the rest of the top 10 combined.
It was the biggest February opening ever
and the best for a horror film, according to
Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc.
It also was distributor Miramax’s best

opening.
The prison drama The Hurricane was
second with $4.9 million, followed by Stu
art Little with $4.8 million and Next Fri
day with $4.3 million.
Last weekend’s top film, the thriller
Eye of the Beholder, fell to No. 5 with
$4.04 million.
Billed as the last in a trilogy, Scream 3
reunites the survivors of the first two
movies — Neve Campbell, David Ar
quette and Courtney Cox — on a I lolly-
wood movie lot where they are terrorized
by a new slasher.
In releasing Scream 3 in February,
Miramax took advantage of the fran
chise’s notoriety and the quiet movie sea
son, said Paul Dergarabedian, president
of Exhibitor Relations, which tracks the
box office.
“If you come into a slow marketplace
with an event picture like this, you’re go
ing to clean up. You’re going to dominate
the market,” Dergarabedian said. “I think
people were questioning whether this
was the right time to release a horror
film. Obviously, in hindsight, it was the
perfect time.”
Next Friday and the romantic campus
comedy Down to You had been the only
teen and 20-something movies in a crowd
of cartoon features and films generally
aimed at older adults.
Opening in more theaters than its
two predecessors. Scream 3 averaged
an impressive $10,153 on 3,467
screens. The Hurricane averaged
$2,281 in 2,148 cinemas.
Scream opened in 1,413 theaters and
took in $6.4 million the weekend before
Christmas in 1997, while Scream 2 de
buted a year later on 3,112 screens and
grossed $32.9 million its first weekend.
The movies went on to gross just over
$100 million each.
Scream 3 helped jump-start a market
where the top 12 films grossed a meager
$43.9 million last weekend. The total for
Friday through Sunday was $72.4 million,
compared with $62 million for the same
weekend a year ago.
Two new movies opened in a few hun
dred theaters Gun Shy, starring Liam Nee-
son and Sandra Bullock in a d;irk comedy
about a shaky drug agent, earned $700,000
from 296 theaters. The horse-racing caper
Simpatico, starring Nick Nolle, Jefl'Bridges
and Sharon Stone, grossed $5(X),000 in 283
theaters..Sy/n/x/Z/a; had a limited run late last
year for Oscar consideration.
