The Sixth Sense is creeping toward the all-time top 10. Just what are the Oscars worth? Tens of millions of dollars at the box oifice for some top nominees. Many moviegoers are in their annual Oscar mode, scrambling to see best-pic ture contenders and other films with big nominations before they watch the Acad emy Awards this Sunday. “Mainstream audiences across the country look for reasons to see a movie that maybe they haven’t felt compelled to see yet,” said Paul Dergarabedian, presi dent of Exhibitor Relations Co., which tracks movie admissions. “Oscar nominations are de facto word of mouth from a source they trust. Rather than a friend saying you’ve got to go see this movie, it’s the Academy saying, ‘Go see it,’” Dergarabedian said. DreamWorks pulled American Beauty from all but a few theaters the weekend be fore Oscar nominations came out in mid- February, with plans to re-release it right after. The movie received a leading eight nominations, and is now in its its widest release yet, 1,650 theaters. It has added $28 million to its gross, hitting $103 mil lion last weekend. American Beauty was a record 20th movie released last year to top $ 100 mil lion, a figure it probably would not have approached without its best-picture and other nominations. “I would love to tell you 1 knew this was going to happen, but when the movie came out, it would have been difficult for me to think it would do more than $35 mil lion to $50 million,” said Jim Tharp, DreamWorks’ head of distribution. Smaller movies also benefit from the Oscars. With acting nominations for Hi lary Swank and Chloe Sevigny, arthouse favorite Boys Don’t Cry has risen from A sitcom with arias!
