* “Dead Heat,” the science fiction action comedy starring Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo, was knocked into sixth place on the local chart by a movie that didn’t even make the top 10 nationally. However, it did manage to outgross the still strong “Above the Law,” which was number seven in Orange County with a box office total of $26,709 on eight screens, giving it a relatively healthy $3,339 per screen averag
