When the final count came in, SCREAM 3 earned an astounding $34.71-million in its debut weekend. That was about $500,000 short of Miramax's prediction, but it hardly mattered: the film was still the easy winner, besting the remaining Top Ten films combined. Also of note: THE GREEN MILE reached $120-million, and GALAXY QUEST passed $60-million; WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH hit the $125-million mark, and SLEEPY HOLLOW continues its trek toward $100-million.
