Boxoffice (Jan-Mar 1963)

BOXOFFICE BAROMETER This chart records the performance of current attractions in the opening week of their first runs in the 20 key cities checked. Pictures with fewer than five engagements are not listed. As new runs are reported, ratings are added and averages revised. Computation is in terms of percentage in relation to normal grosses as determined by the theatre managers. With 100 per cent as "normal," the figures show the gross rating above or below that mark. (Asterisk * denotes combination bills.)
