Friday Box Office: Let’s Give Footloose a Hand!

I’m squeaking and bopping like Deniece Williams, because the new Footloose is both critically hailed and a box office success. Kenny Wormald’s big debut tops the Friday countdown, leading all newcomers by a significant margin — especially the not-so- Big Year .
