MOVIES - Jan. 20, 1992
The ‘Juice’ Report: Police said there were no reports of renewed violence during the second night of showings of Paramount’s “Juice,” a movie about inner-city youths. But violence flared at theaters in several states after the film’s premiere on Friday. In Chicago, Tydsa Cherry, 16, was killed by a stray bullet from a fight between two boys waiting for tickets. An 18-year-old man was paralyzed from the chest down after he was shot coming out of the movie near Philadelphia. In East Lansing, Mich., a theater canceled Saturday’s showings of the film after two groups of youths had a gunfight in the lobby. And gunfire erupted in a Boston theater showing the film after a theatergoer was robbed. The film found moderate success at the box office over the weekend, grossing $8 million. It came in second to Disney’s “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.”
