LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Pearl Harbor won an easy vic
tory at the box office, debuting
as the No. 1 film with $75.1
million over the four-day
weekend.
The heavily hyped World
War II epic fell short of setting
individual box-office records,
but it helped lift Hollywood to
an apparent record-breaking
weekend.
The overall box office was on
target to beat the all-time high
of $183.7 million set last Memo
rial Day weekend, when Mission:
Impossible 2 debuted. The top 12
movies alone grossed $176.6
million this weekend, up 3 per
cent from the same holiday
weekend last year.
The final tally will not be
available until Tuesday, when
weekend grosses for all films
are counted.
Pearl Harbor had the second-
best Memorial Day opening
ever, behind the $90.2 million
gross for The Lost World: Juras
sic Park in 1997.
Last week’s top film, the
computer-animated Shrek,
slipped to No. 2 but had an
impressive second weekend,
grossing $54.2 million, ac
cording to studio estimates
Monday.
Shrek, featuring the voices of
Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz
and Eddie Murphy, has taken
in $110.7 million in just 10
days, passing Chicken Rim as
DreamWorks’ top-grossing
animated film.
The Mummy Returns took
third place with $19.1 million,
pushing its total to $170.7 mil
lion. The sequel passed the
$155 million taken in by The
Mummy in 1999.
Pearl Harbor, Shrek and Tht
Mummy Returns is each on trad
to top $200 million. That
would equal the number of
films released in all of 2000 to
hit that mark, with many po
tential blockbusters still to
come this year.
This is just the beginning.

HONOLULU (AP) — The
battleship that served as the
stage for the end of World War
n: II is getting a high-tech
makeover intended to give vet-
~£rans and visitors a virtual look
Yat its heroic past.
V The Battleship Missouri
Memorial, one of Hawaii’s most
popular tourist attractions since
it arrived in Pearl Harbor in
1998, stands as a poignant
World War II bookend opposite
the USS Arizona Memorial.
Nearly four years after its
Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl
Harbor, Japan surrendered to
the United States on the USS
Missouri in Tokyo Bay. Today
the “Mighty Mo” is moored a
few hundred yards from the
sunken Arizona, which lost
1,177 crew after the Pearl Har
bor attack.
“The Missouri’s bigger than
all of us. Her story is so impor
tant,” said Lee Collins,
spokesman for the USS Mis
souri Memorial Association,
the nonprofit group that runs
the museum. “She’s an interna
tional icon and she talks about
the world’s commitment to
freedom.”
But unlike the accessible Ari
zona memorial, the Missouri,
with its steep steps and cramped
walkways, is a challenging tour
for many — including World
War II veterans in their 70s or
older. The solution will be to of
fer “virtual” tours of the floating
museum, accessible both from
the main deck and classrooms
around the world.
