This weekend, moviegoers decided that for Mark Wahlberg, nothing is forbidden.
"Contraband" was the #1 movie in America with a solid $28.8 million debut over the four-day weekend, according to studio estimates. The action thriller, which takes places in the world of drug-smuggling, beat Disney's 3-D re-release of 1991's "Beauty and the Beast," which opened to $23.5 million.
Wahlberg's latest (a remake of an Icelandic flick) kicked off with a stronger opening weekend than his multiple Oscar winner "The Fighter" or previous action flicks "Max Payne" (2008) and "Shooter" (2007). The film has a "rotten" 48 percent score on film review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences who saw it gave it an "A-" CinemaScore.
