‘Die Hard’ Hangs On to Top Spot

Apparently none of the recent crop of movies has the clout to dethrone “Die Hard” as the No. 1 rental, but one of the new chart entries could easily take over the top spot in the next few weeks. “A Fish Called Wanda,” debuting at No. 11, has definite No. 1 potential. Another possible chart champ is “Midnight Run,” which raked in a hefty $37.2 million at the box office. “Run” sprinted onto the chart at No. 15. Look for “Big Business,” which sneaked onto the rental Top 40 at a lowly No. 35, to take a big leap next week--into the Top 10.

*”Married to the Mob” grossed a nifty $21.2 million in movie houses, but that’s not the only reason it’s such a hit rental--debuting at No. 9. Its star, Michelle Pfeiffer, is the big lure. Since “Mob’s” theatrical run, she’s appeared in “Tequila Sunrise” and earned an Oscar nomination for “Dangerous Liaisons.”
