Box office blog: Pure 'Evil'
Another unnecessary horror flick not screened for critics, another box office champ. Milla Jovovich’s videogame-inspired sci-fi sequel “Resident Evil: Extinction” earned $24 million to take the top spot over the weekend. That’s more than the original movie, which made $17.7 million in its first week in 2002, and “Resident Evil: Apocalype,” which earned $23 million in its debut in 2004. Behind Jovovich and the army of zombies was the terrible Dane Cook-Jessica Alba comedy, “Good Luck Chuck,” with $14 million to land at No. 2. Amanda Bynes’ pathetic “Snow White” modernization, “Sydney White,” brought in only $5.3 million to place sixth. The best news of the weekend is that “Eastern Promises,” David Cronenberg’s terrific crime thriller, jumped to No. 5 with $5.7 million as it expanded to more theaters across the country. What did you see over the weekend? How many more “Resident Evil” movies will there be? Will anyone admit to seeing “Good Luck Chuck”?
