Box Office: 'Resident Evil' finds new 'Life' as fourth installment hits No. 1
Milla Jovovich's franchise has its biggest opening ever
Milla Jovovich proves there is still money to be made playing Alice with "Resident Evil: Afterlife."
NEW YORK (AP) — On a weekend that Hollywood was largely content to cede to football and late-summer barbecues, Sony-Screen Gems' "Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D" led the box office. According to studio estimates, the horror film earned $27.7 million over the weekend, a total that exceeded expectations. It's the fourth "Resident Evil" film, all of which have starred Milla Jovovich. This installment opened better than the three previous movies. "Resident Evil" was the only film in new release on the historically slow moviegoing weekend following Labor Day. Screen Gems' "Takers," in its third week of release, came in second with $6.1 million. Last weekend's top film, the George Clooney thriller "The American," took in $5.9 million for Focus Features.
