"Underworld Awakening," a movie about the exploits of a woman vampire
warrior, grabbed top North American box office honors in its opening
weekend, industry figures showed Sunday.
The 3D film starring Kate Beckinsale garnered $25.4 million at the box office, outmaneuvering the debut of "Red Tails," which recounts the World War II deeds of the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of black pilots, with $19.1 million, said Exhibitor Relations.
The two new films pushed last week's top attraction, Mark Wahlberg's crime drama "Contraband," to third place with $12.2 million over the weekend.
"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," the Tom Hanks-Sandra Bullock story of a family impacted by the 9/11 attacks, brought in $10.5 million in its first weekend of wide release.
Rounding out the top 10 in the United States and Canada were action flick "Haywire" ($9 million), "Beauty And The Beast" in 3D ($8.6 million), "Joyful Noise" ($6 million), "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" ($5.5 million), "Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows" ($4.8 million) and "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" ($3.8 million).
