Beckinsale back, 'Underworld' top movie
Kate Beckinsale is back with a vengeance, with her latest "Underworld" movie opening at No. 1 this weekend, The Associated Press reports.
"Underworld: Awakening" made an estimated $25.4 million, according to distributor Sony Screen Gems.
This is the fourth film in the vampire action saga. Beckinsale starred in the first two movies as the warrior Selene, then bowed out of part three but returned for this latest installment.
"Underworld: Awakening" was shown for the first time in 3-D as well as on IMAX screens, where it made $3.8 million. That's 15 percent of the film's weekend gross, which is a record for an IMAX digital-only run.
