Quentin Tarantino's hitmen have made another killing. A year ago who would've guessed that Pulp Fiction's assortment of thugs would go on to heist $107.9 million at the box office? And now, after shipping a record 715,000 rental copies to stores, the blood-soaked indie blasted into the top spot on the chart in its first week on video. At No. 3, the Damon Wayans vehicle Major Payne is packing some heat of its own, reversing the Payneful course set by his previous comedy, Blankman. And the biggest debut honors on the sales front go to.Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman? Yes, the romantic 1943 classic For Whom the Bell Tolls has finally made its bow on video, in a special collector's edition. Perhaps that bell is the sound of a cash register.
