WEEKEND BOX OFFICE

Rave reviews for Robin Williams have turned “Good Morning, Vietnam” into Disney/Touchstone’s second certified hit among the holiday releases. “Good Morning, Vietnam,” which went wide 11 days ago after its limited Christmas release, did its second straight $10 million-plus weekend and has now grossed $28.6 million. “Three Men and a Baby” is finally beginning to show signs of aging, but still did a hefty $6 million over its ninth weekend in wide national release. “Broadcast News” is hanging in, but given its rave reviews and critics’ awards, its $3,363 per screen average must be a disappointment for 20th Century Fox.

And on an extra note: New World’s “The Telephone,” a Whoopi Goldberg comedy, went unanswered during its opening weekend. It grossed just $54,811 in 50 theaters.

* Struggling Cannon did not get good news when the box office receipts were totaled for Chuck Norris’ “Braddock: Missing in Action III,” which averaged only $2,115 in each of the 1,040 theaters where it opened Friday.
