HANKS A LOT
Sure, rings rang up $16.2 million, and A Beautiful Mind didn't go to waste at $15.2 million, but the Colin Hanks comedy Orange County was the surprise of the week--with a $15.1 million opening, it's another potential teen-driven winter hit from the MTV/Paramount partnership that shimmied with last winter's Save the Last Dance. Meanwhile, Robert Altman said hello to the top 10, and with help from the Oscars, Gosford Park could become one of the director's highest-grossing films ever. Ali is looking less like a contender after three weeks in the ring. And after another $40,000-plus per-screen average, Black Hawk Down appears poised to soar when it goes wide next week.
