'Evil' scores franchise's best opening
25 Sep 2007 1:13am EDT - By Gregg Kildaytabprint.gif
Summer might be over, but the threequels keep coming, and this past weekend Sony's Screen Gems unit racked up another sequel success as its "Resident Evil: Extinction" opened in the top spot.

The third film starring Milla Jovovich and based on the video game franchise about viral zombies, the R-rated "Extinction", directed by Russell Mulcahy, bowed to $23.7 million in 2,828 theaters for a bloody good per-theater average of $8,380.

In doing so, it vaulted ahead of the original "Resident Evil", which grossed $17.7 million during its opening weekend in March 2002, and squeezed ahead of "Resident Evil: Apocalypse", which grabbed $23 million (on a wider count of 3,284 theaters) when it made its appearance in September 2004.

Predictably, the movie drew a crowd of rabid, younger males. According to CinemaScore's polling of the opening-weekend audience, 55% were younger than 25 and 65% were males. The audience was a tough sell, though, and awarded the movie a grade of B-minus.

Pulling into the No. 2 spot for the weekend was Lionsgate's comedy of dating errors, "Good Luck Chuck", directed by Mark Helfrich and starring Dane Cook and Jessica Alba. Visit HollywoodReporter.com for more ...


Comes out here on 12th Octotber.  I get to see it next week.  Oh Joy...  THe first two were awful.

I saw the first one and while some of the deaths were quite innovative, the lack of a decent story lost some points. I didn't bother with the second one and I probably won't bother with this one either.

I thought both the original films were god awful, really really terrible films even for video game adaptions.Boring,uninspiring,pretty bad acting..Im no film buff but even i can say the movies were pretty awful,which pains me to say because i am a huge resi fan from the games.I doubt ill watch this one im afraid.

I see i'll be in the minority here then and actually say I like the Resi movies, helps that milla Jovivovich has a knack of finding herself with no clothes on at some point in the movie. I actually thought the Doom conversion was trying to be a better version of resi but ended up being worse, even with The Rock in it.

I've only seen 1 so far, and i agree with Lava, i enjoyed the first one, not had a chance to see the second yet, was it ok? I dont want to watch the third without watching the second, so may have to get my hands on it and have a watch

Not a bad film this, worth a watch at least.

Typical of the series though, not a great plot, just mindless action and Jovovich getting half naked.

It works better on DVD than it did at the cinema.

Had a choice on this movie on DVD. Get the standard DVD for £12, the blue-ray version ~£21 or a box set of all 3 movies plus bonus disk on standard DVD for £20.

As I have yet to see the first two all the way through, always missed the beginning of them, I opted for the box set.
