Ever since The Crow took flight last May, debuting in theaters at No. 1 and going on to make a surprising $50.6 million, it's just kept soaring. Take the supernatural revenge movie's brooding alternative-rock soundtrack, which . nested at the top of Billboard's album chart for 24 weeks. And now Miramax's hit is set to cast a long shadow over the video chart, as it debuts at No. 2 on the rentals top 10. Of course, the on-set death of star Brandon Lee keeps the film alive in renters' minds. But Miramax is making sure that even after The Crow flies on video, moviegoers won't forget Lee or the movie; the studio will rerelease the gothic tale in theaters at Halloween.
