Message-ID: <5438@watmath.UUCP> Date: Thu, 23-Jun-83 04:39:44 EDT Article-I.D.: watmath.5438 Posted: Thu Jun 23 04:39:44 1983 Date-Received: Thu, 23-Jun-83 06:48:15 EDT Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 20 We all have heard time and time again about how Return of the Jedi is breaking new records every day for the biggest gross in a given short period. My question is, which movies have the biggest release gross figures that are not sequels? (That means counting out things like Star Trek and the soon to arrive Twilight Zone) Is it E.T. or is it Raiders of the Lost Ark (both films whose results would be due to their famous director) or something else? What about in constant dollars. Somebody with the **actual facts** please ---****!!!! MAIL !!!!****--- them to me. By no means, of course, should anybody post to the net. I'll post the answer shortly. Please send all opinions which are not based on actual book figures to /dev/null, thanks. -- Brad Templeton - Waterloo, Ont. (519) 886-7304
