Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" opened with the most impressive limited gross of the year, solidifying its status as a rigorous Oscar contender. Though not the top per screen average of the year, it opened wider - 11 theaters in seven cities, not just NY/LA - than those with higher average numbers. The bigger surprise of the week was the standout performance among specialized films from Submarine Deluxe's "Chasing Ice," a film that went to a second distributor after its initial buyer backed off.
