Friday's Results (Estimated):
1. RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION SCREEN GEMS 2,828 9,285,000 3,283 n/a 9,285,000
2. GOOD LUCK CHUCK LIONS GATE 2,612 4,991,000 1,911 n/a 4,991,000
3. BRAVE ONE, THE WARNER BROS. 2,755 2,132,000 774 -54% 19,817,000
4. EASTERN PROMISES FOCUS FEATURES 1,404 1,879,000 1,338 1,018% 2,681,000
5. 3:10 TO YUMA LIONS GATE 2,902 1,777,000 612 -36% 33,342,000
6. SYDNEY WHITE UNIVERSAL 2,102 1,749,000 832 n/a 1,749,000
7. MR. WOODCOCK NEW LINE 2,237 1,550,000 693 -45% 12,271,000
8. SUPERBAD SONY 2,305 981,000 426 -41% 114,052,000
9. BOURNE ULTIMATUM, THE UNIVERSAL 2,009 842,000 419 -33% 218,227,000
10. ACROSS THE UNIVERSE SONY 276 679,000 2,460 231% 1,629,000
11. RUSH HOUR 3 NEW LINE 1,620 599,000 370 -34% 134,525,000
I honestly didn't know there was that much demand for a Resident Evil 3, to its credit, it is apparently a huge step up from #2 (which means so much with so little wording.) Impressive to see Across the Universe crack the top 10 with only 276 theaters, at the same time, it wasn't a huge haul.

People want to see Across the Universe....Quit F'in around and expand it into more theatres will ya Sony.
Not bad for RE3. Just watched the first two last week and to my surprise the first one wasnt nearly as good as I remembered it to be and was somewhat of a bore while Resident Evil apocalypse I found to be much more entertaining and enjoyable than I remembered it to be. At least it had a lot of action.
BTW , does anyone know when the last time was that All of the top 5 movies were rated R....

RE3 is doing way better than I would have ever thought. I saw Eastern Promises last night. Seems to be doing decent numbers, but not quite as big as I might have hoped.

Resident Evil 4 is pretty much guaranteed. Both previous RE movies opened with similar grosses and also dropped heavily in their second weekend, but then do huge sales on DVD and make tons overseas.

^IS there a better female director out there? I don't think so. Yes her movie are highly stylized but I think Titus is one of the best directed films ever and Frida was well done as well.

I’m not a huge Brad Pitt fan but I’m looking forward to seeing The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (fu*king, long a** title) because it was filmed in Canada, & in my hometown of Winnipeg no less. The Story also intrigues me as well & I’m a sucker for stories about Jesse James. I’m going to see it when it comes to DVD because I don’t go to the theatres anymore (wait for the DVD). Of course if I did go & see it in theatres I’d probably have the only theatre to myself.
Brad Pitt might be an A-List actor but after Babel’s Box Office performance it shows that doesn’t mean much.

For the type of film it was, Babel did quite well in worldwide box office. (135m). But I would agree Pitt didn't start earning his paycheck until Troy (both it and Mr and Mrs Smith grossed nearly 500m). I don't see a profitable future for Jesse James though...
