Today I heard on the radio that ST III broke the record for 3-day movie
attendance for a non-holiday weekend.  I tried to look this up in the paper,
but I could find no mention of this.  Can anyone out there either confirm or
deny this?  (Maybe someone in CA wants to make a call to Paramount?)

While I don't deny that some theaters may have had non-sellout shows,
around this area things were pretty busy.  Also, ST III opened at 1600+
theaters nationwide; more than any other movie in history.  This may help
explain things.

If this is true, then it's something I've been expecting.
