After a record-setting Thanksgiving feast, Hollywood got only box office crumbs this weekend as ticket sales plunged 50% from their holiday levels.
Universal and Imagine Entertainment's PG-rated blockbuster comedy adventure "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" continued to top the chart in its third weekend with a still festive estimated $27.11 million (-48%) at 3,138 theaters (+4 theaters; $8,640 per theater). Its cume is approximately $172.0 million, heading for $250 million.
(NOTE: All percentage comparisons today are calculated against the three-day weekend portion of the five-day Thanksgiving holiday period.)

'Save' Tops Holiday Box Office
"Save the Last Dance" kicked off in first place to a record-setting $28 million for the four-day Martin Luther King holiday weekend.
Distribution executives had anticipated that Paramount's PG-13-rated teen appeal dance drama would end 20th Century Fox's three-week chart-topping reign with "Cast Away," but they were only thinking in terms of an opening of about $20 million. Instead, "Dance" came in swinging to the tune of an ESTIMATED $28.00 million at 2,230 theaters ($12,556 per theater). (For the three-day period Friday through Sunday, Paramount estimated "Dance" at $24.00 million.)
"Dance" had the highest per-theater average for any film playing at over 1,000 theaters last weekend.
"$20 million was kind of the benchmark (estimate going into the weekend)," Paramount distribution president Wayne Lewellen said Sunday morning.

Moviegoers will "Cast" most of their box office votes for Tom Hanks this weekend.
"Cast Away," 20th Century Fox's PG-13-rated drama reteaming Hanks and "Forrest Gump" director Robert Zemeckis, opens at nearly 2,800 theaters.
"Sunday is going to be off because its Christmas Eve, but with Christmas on a Monday this year it's going to be a four-day weekend," an insider explains. "Based on what 'What Women Want' did last week (opening to $33.6 million), 'Cast Away' could open to $30 million-plus for four days. They'll be number one."
"A lot of business is going to happen over the four days," predicts another studio source. "I assume 'Cast Away' is going to be number one. I think it's going to do around $35 million."
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, "Cast Away" stars Tom Hanks and Helen Hunt.
Second place could see competition between Paramount's PG-13-rate

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 4, 2000 -- A couple of years ago it was deadly asteroids slamming into Earth, and big-budget cartoons about talking bugs. This summer, the Hollywood fad was supposed to be spaceships landing on Mars -- but at least one interplanetary mission is being put on hold.
According to today's Daily Variety, Warner Bros. is postponing the release of "Red Planet" from June 16 to Nov. 10. This is the second time the film has been pushed back -- its original release date was slated March 31 -- and studio officials say it's due to the movie's extensive, expensive special-effects work.
Warners studio publicist Charlotte Kandel tells the trade newspaper that previously announced release dates for "Red Planet" were always tentative. "It's a very big movie for us, so we want to make sure we release when it's ready and at the right time," Kandel says. "We think it's

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 14, 2000 -- From psychotically funny to just plain psycho?
That seems to be the trajectory for Robin Williams. The Hollywood Reporter says today that the career funnyman has been cast against type as a pathologically obsessive man in the thriller "One Hour Photo."

"The Wedding Planner" marched down theater aisles this weekend, celebrating in first place with $14 million.
The PG-13-rated romantic comedy from Columbia Pictures and Intermedia Films easily captured the top spot on Super Bowl Weekend with a sexy ESTIMATED $14.0 million at 2,785 theaters ($5,027 per theater).
"Planner" had the highest per-theater average for any film playing in over 1,000 theaters last weekend.
"Great news for us this weekend," Sony Pictures Entertainment worldwide marketing & distribution president Jeff Blake said Sunday morning, noting that Sony had four of the top ten films ("Planner," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Finding Forrester" and "Snatch").
"$14 million is allowing for an over 50% drop on Sunday because we (should) do a little better than the rest of the world (against) the Super Bowl," Blake explained. "We got a real clear mi

Benjamin Bratt SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 27, 2000 -- A prediction: In the futuristic world of 2005, "Friends" will be ex-"Friends," "ER" will be closed, but "Law & Order" will still be making people nauseous with shaky cameras. The first two are guesses; the third is a lock. On Wednesday, NBC announced that it had renewed the looong-running cop-and-lawyer show for five years -- or through the 2004-2005 season.
"Law & Order" debuted in 1990. It is only peaking ratings-wise this year, ranked No. 13 among all primetime shows.
We'd tell you who stars in the show, but that changes every 15 minutes so what's the point. Although for the uninitiated, this is the show that used to star Julia Roberts' boyfriend Benjamin Bratt.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 14, 2000 -- Newly earned fame and power can really wear one down.
So says Wes Bentley.
The "American Beauty" scene-stealer has decided to drop out of Warner Bros.’ "Queen of the Damned," citing the need of personal downtime as the primary reason.
Based on the novel by gothic maven Anne Rice, "Damned" is the third installment of the author’s "Vampire Chronicles." (The first installment, "Interview With the Vampire," was made into a hit 1994 movie starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas and a very pre-"Dick" Kirsten Dunst). The "Damned" story follows vampire Lestat as he metamorphoses into a rock star whose tunes awaken the hibernating queen of all vampires.
No actor has yet been named to replace Bentley. But if it’s any consolation, singer/part-time actress Aaliyah has signed on to star in the project as the queen.

Kevin Spacey SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 28, 2000 -- Maybe two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey doesn't think he can do anything after all. The actor is shooting down reports that had him ready to step into the formidable Peter Sellers' trenchcoat and portray the bumbling Inspector Clouseau in a new "Pink Panther" flick.
"I'm not -- never signed, never been offered the role," Spacey told Reuters on Thursday.
MGM, the studio that owns the "Panther" franchise, let it slip Monday that Spacey was in talks to do the role. The way Spacey sees it, he's "had two conversations," but that's it.
