What A "World"
It was not even screened for critics, but the fourth installment of the popular series, Underworld: Awakening —
the first in 3-D — topped the box office with 25.3 million. In second
place was George Lucas's long-gestating World War II saga Red Tails, which brought in a nice 18.7 million.
Last weekend's number one movie, Contraband, took a bit of a drop and grossed 12.7 million. In its first weekend of wide release, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close opened decently, with 10 million. Beauty and the Beast 3D made 8.7 million for the weekend.
Despite generally good reviews, Steven Soderbergh's action flick Haywire had a so-so opening of 8.4 million. Joyful Noise grossed 5.9 million, while Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol will cross 200 million this week, as it added 5.5 million to its gross.
Rounding out the weekend were Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows with 4.5 million and The Iron Lady with 3.6 million.
Next weekend: can "Underworld" hang onto the top spot? Stay tuned...-Zach B. |
