Most of you who read my reviews have guessed how much I like this movie.
Perhaps some of you can satisfy my curiosity about a certain subject:

I was looking through my newspaper today and discovered that BB was not
playing anywhere in Seattle.  After less than a month of playing.  Now,
anyone living in Seattle knows how unusual this is... usually these movies
drag on for months at the repatory theatres.  We still got Cannonball II
(shudder) around here at several small theatres.  Well, I then began reading
my copy of this week's NEW YORKER... and discovered, 2 weeks after a fairly
favorable review, that Buckaroo Banzai is playing NO PLACE in NEW YORK!!!
Astonishing!

Sounds to me as if this movie was yanked.  Anyone got some clues as to why?
Were the box office receipts THAT BAD?  Anyone reading Variety or something,
any information would be extremely interesting.  Thanks in advance.
