Beauty & the Beast 3D takes 2nd place at box office

Beauty and the Beast 3D earned 2nd place this past weekend with $18.5 million falling just behind Contraband according to Entertainment Weekly. It is the largest January opening for an animated film topping 2006′s Hoodwinked.

Disney spent less than $10 million converting the 1991 classic to 3-D, so this kind of opening more than justifies the studio’s decision to re-release the musical.

It is good news for Disney’s future 3-D re-releases: Finding Nemo in September, and Monsters, Inc. and The Little Mermaid in 2013.
