Summer film profits could break record
The Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD (AP) — With the final returns coming in from Hollywood's hottest-ever summer movie season, studio executives are banking on an unusually long string of fall releases to make 1987 a record year at the box office.
The returns were on record track as the official summer box-office season headed for a close Monday.
"This summer should reach about $1.6 billion, just a smidgemen over 1984's record $1.58 billion," said analyst Art Murphy of the industry trade paper Daily Variety. "And 1987 is going to be a record box office year."
Lured by such hits as "The Touchables," "Secret of My Success" and "Lethal Weapon," movie buffs have spent $2.7 billion for tickets thus far in 1987, compared with $2.3 billion spent during the period last year. Grosses are 16 percent ahead of last year.
Last weekend, the box office take was $89 million, compared with $83 million for the period in 1986. But rather than a few blockbusters that usually carry the industry, the 1987
summer season has featured a large group of films.
"The summer pictures this year didn't perform as well as the top ones last year, but there were more films," exhibitor relations president John Krier said. "Business was spread out and attendance was up."
The wider choice of films obviously drew people into theaters more often, Krier said, but the burgeoning video cassette sales and rental market, once feared by the studios, may be responsible for the box office increase.
"Video cassettes have worked to the good of the industry," Krier said. "They have created more interest in motion pictures and have been responsible for more financing of motion pictures."

After a record $1 billion spring season, the studios hurried with a batch of new releases to coincide with the traditional warm-wear weather explosion of moviegoing. The same strategy is being used to keep up the momentum this fall.

Who Do You Call When You Want To Identify A Soccer Ball From 22,300 Miles In Space?
If your answer is Ghost Busters, we want to wish you all the best and have a nice day. If you answered "TRW", here's the rest of the story.
The U.S. Air Force asked us to build a ground-based electro-optical surveillance system that could identify an object the size of a soccer ball from 22,300 miles in space. We did it, utilizing 3 telescopes and a large computer system. Then they asked us to build four more. Quite an achievement, but it's just one example of TRW's impact on the future of opportune freedom to move around a wide variety of oppor-tion microelectronics, high energy lasers, large software systems, communications, and scientific spacecraft.
