We have three new releases cracking the top 5 this week. First up is DreamWorks’ animated film The Croods, pulling in $44.7 million. This is about even with 2010’s How to Train Your Dragon ($43.7 million) and Megamind ($46 million), and a vast improvement over November’s Rise of the Guardians The #2 spot belongs to Olympus Has Fallen, taking in $30.5 million. Starring Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman, it seems that fans favor their Butler in more action films, with the film ranking in as his highest gross in nearly 4 years.
