The third installment of the "Underworld" series is faring well in its debut. "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" is a prequel that looks at the roots of a feud between vampires and werewolves.
It made $20.7 million.
Clinton Eastwood's "Gran Torino," "Hotel for Dogs" and "Slumdog Millionaire" round out the top five. Studio executives say the drama about a game-show contestant from the slums of Mumbai has gotten a boost from its recent haul of awards, including top honors from the Producers Guild of America last night. It's also won four Golden Globe awards and earned 10 Oscar nominations, including one for best picture.
