Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON PolyGram Pictures WED -SAT OCT 28-31 Foreign Correspondent Joel McCrea Laraine Day NOTORIOUS By ANDREW EPSTEIN It's hardly uncommon in movie making that a film is re -released after its initial run in an attempt to squeeze a few more dollars from the moviegoing public. What is unusual, however, is for a studio to re-release a film that opened and closed in one New York theater after a disastrous two-week run and unanimously bad reviews from both the critics and exhibitors. No, it's not "Heaven's Gate" but a $9-million suspense thriller from Walt Disney Productions called "The Watcher in the Woods." The chief complaint voiced last year over "The Watcher," which stars Bette Davis, David McCallum and Carroll Baker, centered on an ending that many felt was unresolved. And criticism was also leveled at a creature, called The Watcher, that pops up in the end FOLLOW-UPS 2 BUSBY BERKELEY HITS NOV I 42nd Street A Universal Release R. I c.

So, with a new $l-million ending and a reworked marketing and advertising campaign, this Disney ghost story recently opened on the East Coast in nearly 250 theaters to mediocre results. The first week's box office was $1.2 million, according to Dick Cook, an assistant to the president of Buena Vista, Disney's distribution arm. "The Watcher's first week at the box office was "not tremendous but certainly not terrible. It was respectable," said Cook.

He admitted that although not all the "numbers are in," the film experienced a 25 dropoff in its second week. The film is expected to open in a second wave of 300 theaters at the end of October, with the third assault (another 300 theaters) hitting the CARSON South Bay Drive-In 632-861 1 CULVER CITY Culver 838-1893 EAGlf ROCK PtAZA Eagle Rock Cinema 254-9101 OXNARO Carriage Square 805485-6726 XVi iwwi i iui mi ivi vai i un WOODLAND HILLS Valley Circle 992-5461 era BARGAIN MATINEES- STARRED!)
