In No. 1 position, Columbia’s “Groundhog’s Day” kept its head above ground for the second weekend in a row with a gross of $9.4 million. Disney’s “Homeward Bound” was next with $6.5 million. The romance “Sommersby” from Warner Bros. took third with $6.4 million, and Disney’s “Aladdin” tied for fourth with “The Crying Game,” according to early industry estimates.
