Hi Mike, There is a magazine called *Screen International* it is a production and distribution publication...usually found in any production company's waiting room sitting on the coffee table ;-)) .... it used to cost around £2.00 a while back... it is part of the e-map publications and so has an email address... [log in to unmask] the snail mail address is: EMAP Media, 33-39 Bowling Green Lane, London EC1R ODA. UK. Telephone: (44) 171 505 8101 They also have other European and American offices so if you'd prefer these instead contact me off list and I'll mail them to you. At the end of the year they usually publish a section on the highest grossing films Internationally as well as in the UK. Even if they are not going to do that for this month I am sure that they will have the information that you need, they are an excellent source for any kind of production and distribution information.. and they usually like to be helpfull. You'll find back copies of Screen International at the British Film Institute in London. Hope this helps, Julia U.W.C.N.
