ARETHA FRANKLIN & ADAM RAUCH have sort-of-good health news to report, though Rauch says he is not free of cancer.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Rooster Cogburn rules the roost as True Grit finally tops the chart in its third week with 15 million.  The Coens & Co. also pass the 100 million mark on a 38 million budget.  True Grit will likely be the biggest grossing Western since Dances With Wolves.  Little Fockers places with 13.8 million and will make a decent profit worldwide, though lagging its predecessors.  Season of the Witch debuted in the third slot with an estimated 10.8 million, which sorta counts as good news for a film with almost uniformly hostile reviews.  It cost 40 million, but iirc the studio sold off the foreign rights and minimized its downside.  Tron Legacy drops a hefty 48 percent to the fourth slot with 9.8 million; its domestic gross remains well below its production budget, though its worldwide gross shows it in the black.  Rounding out the Top Five is Black Swan with 8.3 million and a 61.5 million domestic gross against a 13 million budget.  Below the fold, the wide release of Country Strong managed sixth place with 7.3 million, which isn't terrible against a 15 million budget.  Awards bait like The Fighter and The King's Speech also continue to profit.
