‘WARNER BROS. IS #1 STUDIO

:

“ONCE AGAIN

_ Hot on the heels of its biggest fourth quarter on

history, Warner Bros. announced that it has placed number one in domestic market share for the fifth

_ time in ten years with a market share of 13.9%, an unprecedented accomplishment was made by Dr.

Barry Reardon, President of Warner, Bros.’ Domes- tic Theatrical Distribution, who noted that the studio is also first for 1991 in domestic film rentals.

Warner was previously the box-office leader in 1981, 1984, 1985 and 1989. Its first-place performance this year was propelled by the summer blockbuster release from Morgan Creek, ‘‘Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,’’ which grossed $165,494,000 in the U.S. and Canada. The studio’s ascendancy was further fuelled by such hit pictures as ‘‘Doc Hollywood,’ with $54,730,000 in receipts; ‘‘New Jack City,’’ with $47,605,000; ‘‘Out For Justice,’’ with $39,364,000; **Curly Sue,’’ with $30,337,000 and ‘‘Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead,’’ with $25,196,000. - JFK,’’ which opened December 20, had grossed $30,855,000 in less than three weeks and ‘‘The Last Boy Scout,’’ with and early December opening, had tallied $43,812,000; both are still playing to sold-out houses around the country.
