They're in the Money

We compare film grosses between ''M:I,'' ''Twister,'' ''Jurassic Park,'' and ''Batman Forever''

Mission: Impossible and Twister have been sucking up more cash than the national debt. But how do the box office numbers for these two money machines stack up against other historically fast-grossing films? And what are the movies likely to earn in the long run? Here's the reckoning:

Mission:
6 Days: $74.9
14 Days: $119*
Final: $220*

Twister
6 Days: $53.9
14 Days: $107
Final: $250*

Batman Forever
6 Days: $72.2
14 Days: $120.1
Final: $184

Jurassic Park
6 Days: $74.1
14 Days: $146.5
Final: $357

*Figures are projected. All dollar figures in millions.
