Weekend estimates are in and Marky Mark Wahlberg once again conquered the box office with his newest deep dram…I mean randon action thriller ‘Contraband’. Beauty And The Beast 3D didn’t hit the heights of the Lion King release, but it still opened strong enough to warrant more 3D Disney flicks IN YOUR FACE! Dolly Parton’s newest non-classic opened to an OK $11 million before a quick exit from theaters. Otherwise, most of the Christmas releases are holding strong.
