Hollywood's Hot Holiday Season
</hdr>
<body>
<p>By RICHARD ZOGLIN/Reported by David E. Thigpen
</p>
<p> How many hits can a movie mogul squeeze into a box office?
The crunch of high-profile December releases, each intended to
be a bonanza, will be more frenzied this year than ever. Rocky
V and Home Alone started fast out of the gate. Here's the
morning line on some of the hopefuls yet to come:
</p>
<p> GODFATHER III
</p>
<p> Coppola's long-awaited,$50 million-plus sequel almost didn't
make its Christmas deadline. Early on, it was considered a sure
blockbuster, but doubts are growing. Do young moviegoers care
about the Corleones? Hmmm. (opens Dec. 25)
</p>
<p> THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES
</p>
<p> A big book (by Tom Wolfe), a top director (Brian De Palma)
and some of Hollywood's hottest stars (Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis).
But the pundits are predicting it will disappoint. (Dec. 21)
</p>
<p> HAVANA
</p>
<p> Robert Redford and Lena Olin in an old-fashioned Hollywood
romance set against the Cuban Revolution. The question is
whether Redford, who hasn't appeared in a film since 1986, can
still pack them in. Studio execs are nervous. (Dec. 12)
</p>
<p> KINDERGARTEN COP
</p>
<p> Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of Hollywood's rare action
stars who have crossed over successfully to comedy (Twins).
Teamed with a band of cute kids, he seems assured of another
musclebound smash. (Dec. 21)
</p>
<p> MISERY
</p>
<p> The season's oddest talent combo could be a sleeper hit. Rob
Reiner directs a Stephen King story, with James Caan playing a
novelist imprisoned by his biggest fan. Horror at Christmas? A
gamble, but this one could pay off big. (Nov. 30)
