‘Wanda’ Does Swimmingly

All the strong new competition hasn’t been able to flush “A Fish Called Wanda” out of the top spot of the Billboard magazine rental chart. Kevin Kline’s best-supporting actor Oscar is expected to drum up new business for “Wanda.” Michael Keaton’s fans are renting his drama “Clean and Sober” as if it were one of his comedies. It’s up to No. 9 in just two weeks. For a movie that grossed $109 million at the box office, “ ‘Crocodile’ Dundee II” is doing surprisingly slow business, inching from No. 9 to No. 7.

* The Tom Hanks comedy, “Big” was big at the box office, raking in $110 million. It looks like a rental smash too, probably shooting up to No. 1 sometime in the next few weeks. “Big” burst onto the rental chart at No. 11. Hanks’ other movie, the comedy/drama “Punchline” (No. 18), is off to a sluggish start.
