Q: With Pauly Shore's Bio-Dome doing only moderately better box office than the primate-powered Dunston Checks In ($6 million versus $4 million), Entertainment Weekly asks, ''Which is a better financial investment: a movie starring Shore, or one with a monkey?''
Samuel Z. Arkoff (producer and president of Arkoff International Pictures; cofounder of American International Pictures): ''Let me put it this way — it depends on the monkey. If it's King Kong, I'll take King Kong.''
Craig Campobasso (a casting director for Picket Fences): ''I vote for the monkey because it's cheaper and doesn't talk back. He'll work for bananas, not peanuts.''
Marvin Worth (Marvin Worth Productions — Malcolm X, The Rose): ''It's the same choice. I don't see a difference.''
Danny Bonaduce (erstwhile Partridge and radio host): ''I'd rather do a movie with a Monkee — preferably Peter Tork.''
