Get There Early!

Mick Dundee and John Rambo may be gobbling up big grosses, but the hottest ticket in town is director Wim Wenders’ “Wings of Desire.� Weekend lines have been around the block at L.A.’s NuArt, with tickets selling out ahead of showtime. Plus “reports of movie stars standing in line� to get them--actress Leslie Ann Warren and producer-director Michael Mann were spotted--according to an exec for Orion Classics, which handles the film.

Michael Barker, marketing/sales veep--correcting some trade paper figures--told us “Wings� had a five-week, $251,000 gross through the Memorial Day weekend, with whopping per screen averages of $40,125 in L.A. and $34,500 at its single NYC theater that week--�Every weekend is an increase over the previous weekend’s gross.�
