LOS
ANGELES — Save us, Buzz Lightyear. Grumpy moviegoers have left the film
business
trying to dig itself out of a summer slump after a series of big-budget
disappointments and the lack of a single blockbuster comedy. Memorial
Day weekend attendance was the lowest since
1993. Box office receipts for the next weekend plunged 24 percent
compared with
the same weekend a year earlier. Sony’s remake of “The Karate Kid” sold a

surprisingly strong $56 million in North America over the last three
days,
landing firmly in first place, but a much more expensive adaptation of
“The
A-Team” from 20th Century Fox fizzled with $26 million.
