The impact on the box office wasn't nearly so deep as it was a week ago but Deep Impact (1998) managed to remain the weekend leader, taking in an estimated $23.3 million and bringing its 10-day cume to $74 million. In second place was Robert Redford's Horse Whisperer, The (1998) with about $14 million. But Warner Bros.' quest to challenge Disney in animation with Quest for Camelot (1998) appeared stymied as the film took in only $6.4 million. Fox's Bulworth, which was released in only two theaters (in New York and L.A.) took in a sensational $135, 000, with most screenings sold out by early afternoon. The film will roll out against Godzilla (1998) this week. The top ten films over the weekend according to studio estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations:1. Deep Impact (1998), Paramount/DreamWorks $23 million; 2. Horse Whisperer, The (1998), Disney-Touchstone, $14 million; 3. The Quest for Camelot (1998), Warner Bros., $6.4 million; 4. City of Angels (1998), Warner Bros., $3.2 million; 5. He Got Game (1998), Disney-Touchstone, $2.4 million; 6. Titanic (1997), Fox/Paramount, $2.2 million; 7. Woo (1998), New Line, $1.71 million; 8. Paulie (1998), DreamWorks, $1.7 million; 9. Misérables, Les (1998), Sony-Columbia, $1.5 million; 10. Big Hit, The (1998), Sony-TriStar, $1.4 million. »
