NO RECESSION IN ENTERTAINMENT
While some analysts were attributing last weekend's box-office success to the need of many Americans to seek low-cost entertainment during the recession, Broadway, where seats sometimes sell for 100 times what a movie ticket goes for, also enjoyed a big boost over the Presidents Day holiday. According to Variety , the long-running The Lion King took in $1,050,722 million, while Billy Elliot rang up $1,054,838 and the stage version of Mary Poppins registered $784,125. And Will Ferrell's act as George Bush in You're Welcome America broke a house record with $846,507.
