While Dr. Dolittle kept busily making house calls, The Mask of Zorro swooped past the cash register at the impressive rates of 56 rentals and 40 sales per store for respective second- and first-place finishes. The doctor and the swashbuckler were joined on the sales chart by a hapless crooner: A discounted edition of Adam Sandler's The Wedding Singer entered at No. 3, rocketing past two older flicks by the year's top dunce -- namely, Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore -- that keep lingering around the mid-reaches of the top 40.
