Mark Wahlberg's "Contraband" put up a nice number $24 million to beat, somewhat unexpectedly, the 3D re-release of "Beauty and the Beast" ($18 million).
BO MOJO reports "The Iron Lady" did well in an expanded run, and may benefit from Meryl Streep's Golden Globe win. "Carnage," not so well in a wider release. I guess couples on a night out did not want to see a movie about couples arguing about their crappy marriages.
Opening this week: "Red Tails," about the Tuskegee Airmen, Steven Soderbergh's actioner "Haywire," "Underworld Awakening," and "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close."
