Columbia's PG-rated family comedy held on to the

SANTA MONICA, Calif., September 21, 2000 -- Suburban teens should help cut "Urban Legends: Final Cut" the biggest slice of box office pie this weekend.

"Parents'" international release is through DreamWorks Pictures, which co-financed the film and will share equally in
