'Resident Evil' Feasts On 'Chuck,' Takes #1 At Box Office

The Box Office Top Five#1 "Resident Evil: Extinction" ($24 million)#2 "Good Luck Chuck" ($14 million)#3 "The Brave One" ($7.4 million)#4 "3:10 to Yuma" ($6.4 million)#5 "Eastern Promises" ($5.7 million)
It's the end of the world as we know it, and the stars of "Resident Evil: Extinction" feel quite fine. The third in a series of video-game adaptations about a zombie plague, "Extinction" rose from the grave and went straight to the top, finishing in first place with a series-record $24 million opening, putting it on pace to out-earn both previous installments. Say what you will about the flick, but how many threequels this year can boast a series' high gross? Just one; and "The Bourne Ultimatum" had the benefit of being, well, actually really good. Slice it any way you want, but the success of "Extinction" shows the talent behind it has some serious "brraaaainnns!"
