Resident Evil Afterlife Resides In First Place
Aided by 3D surcharges and the fact that it was the only film opening in wide release this weekend, Resident Evil Afterlife opened at No. 1 at the box office with $27.7 million, according to studio estimates. The film surpassed analysts' expectations and eclipsed the $23.1 million hauled in by the third installment of thefranchise, 2007's Resident Evil Apocalypse , when it also opened on the weekend after Labor Day, usually one of the slowest periods of the year at the box office.This weekend, which was down 11 percent from a year ago, was no exception. The remaining nine films on the box-office top ten took in just $36.3 million and each of their estimated totals were so close that it was likely that there would be a wholesale rearrangementof the standings when final results are disclosed on Monday.
