Mark Wahlberg's "Contraband" stole the box office crown, pulling in a better-than-expected $24.5 million over the four-day holiday weekend.
Disney's 3D re-release of its classic "Beauty and the Beast" performed quite well in second place with $17.7 million.
"Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" continued its solid performance, dropping to third place in its fifth week with $11.7 million and a cumulative total of $186 million.
Rounding out the weekend's new wide releases was the Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah-starring "Joyful Noise," which drew $11.2 million.
"Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" has been another successful December holdover and added $8.6 million over the four-day period.
Last weekend's surprise champ, "The Devil Inside," however, plummeted 76 percent in its second week, collecting only $8 million.
Expanding into a semi-wide release of 800 theaters, "The Iron Lady" just missed the top 10, collecting $5.4 million.
The complete list of the top 10 grossing films is:
1. "Contraband," $24.5 million (New)
2. "Beauty and the Beast 3D," $17.7 million (New)
3. "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol," $11.7 million ($186.9 million)
