‘BACK TO FUTURE’ NOSES OUT ‘RAMBO’ AT BOX OFFICE

It took three months, but Universal’s “Back to the Future” has finally slipped past “Rambo: First Blood Part 2” as 1985’s box-office leader.

The time-warp fantasy, about a modern teen-ager who travels back in time to introduce his parents, grossed $3.9 million last weekend, running its total to $150.2 million, the studio said. “Rambo,” which is nearly played out after four months in release, has grossed $148.7 million, according to distributor Tri-Star Pictures.

“Beverly Hills Cop” actually has earned the most money during 1985, but it was released before Christmas, and will be recorded in official box-office lists as a 1984 film.

Among the new releases last weekend, “Plenty” got off to the best start. The Meryl Streep drama sold an average of $18,178 worth of tickets in 24 theaters.
