'Comin' At Ya' Bow In K.C. Plus Phoenix Has Exhibitors, Filmways Afloat In 3-D Dollars

In Phoenix, where the pic premiered in the 800-seat Plitt Cine Capri Theatre, it notched $59,912 in 37 showings, against "Star Wars" $57,500 which was made with 100 more seats (they had to be closed for the 3-D flick).
