MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2002

Suncoast Survey Reveals Movie Lovers Want to See Estevez

Once Again, Eminem for Some Time and Christensen Not So Much

His father is the president and his brother just married a Bond girl. So what's a washed-up movie star to do to fit in with a family like that? Start a comeback, of course. And America is ready.

Suncoast, the 400-store chain for movie lovers, surveyed more than 2,400 people across the country and found that both men (40 percent) and women (36 percent) agreed that Emilio Estevez, star of such hits (and misses) as St. Elmo's Fire, Breakfast Club, Men at Work, and Mighty Ducks, is the Brat Pack star they'd most like to see make a comeback. Estevez was chosen over other fellow Brat Packers such as Molly Ringwald (23 percent) and Andrew McCarthy (14 percent) who finished second and third respectively.

The survey also inquired about what the future holds for some singers who have recently dipped their toes into the acting waters. Twenty-eight percent of those polled feel that Eminem has the most promising acting career. The rapper/actor barely edged pop-star-turned-actress Mandy Moore, who closely followed with 27 percent. Beyonce Knowles, of Destiny's Child and Austin Powers fame, was third with 21 percent. Britney Spears debut in Crossroads convinced only 16 percent that her acting career has legs.

Among actors who don't sing, the survey found strong opinions on who will have the most staying power. Hot, young, twenty-something actresses Reese Witherspoon (78 percent) and Kirsten Dunst (76 percent) top the list of actors who movie lovers feel will have a lifelong career in film. On the flip-side of that list are a couple of "here today, gone tomorrow" heartthrobs, Hayden Christensen (71 percent) and Josh Harnett (63 percent), who the survey said are likely be out of a job within the next five years.

Suncoast is a leader in the movie retailing industry. The stores are generally found in malls and are a division of the Minneapolis-based Musicland Group. The Musicland Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:BBY). Musicland is the nation's leading specialty retailer of home entertainment software products. The company currently operates more than 1,300 stores under three names - Sam Goody, Suncoast and Media Play - in 49 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
