...Titanic," starring mega-hot Leonardo DiCaprio, stayed afloat atop the North American box office charts for the seventh consecutive weekend and earned more than the three wide-release newcomers combined, according to studio estimates. The sinking-ship saga earned about $26 million for the Friday-to-Sunday period, which propelled its 45-day total to $308.2 million. The movie now stands as the seventh-highest grossing of all time. "Great Expectations" debuted in second place this weekend with $9.9 million. "Good Will Hunting" held steady in third. "Spice World" fell two spots to fourth. "As Good As It Gets" slipped...

...RAGTIME The musical version of E.L. Doctorow's best-selling novel could have been a high-minded bore, a musical for people who hate musicals. Or, given all the promotional hype (the show has been trumpeted seemingly since the Ice Age), another mega-disappointment. In fact, it turns out to be a landmark American musical.

Twelve states rank malls among their top three tourist attractions, including Minnesota (Mall of America), Virginia (Potomac Mills) and Colorado (Denver's Cherry Creek Mall). Yet by most estimates, fewer than 30 U.S. cities are big enough to support a mega-shopping center, and even those probably don't have room for more than one. Perhaps that's why Mills has announced an alliance with New York City-based Tishman Speyer Properties to build malls in Germany, Britain, Japan and Brazil. Today America; tomorrow the world...
