Resident Evil: Extinction devoured the #1 spot this weekend, taking in $24 mil. But to the surprise of almost every critic in America, Good Luck Chuck came in at #2 with $14 mil. And the moment all the moviegoers spread the word that, in spite of the PG trailer, it has raunchy skits and more nudity than any romantic comedy they've ever seen, I'm sure it'll cover twice that by next weekend. Sydney White, which was given a good review by The New York Times--yeah, you read that right--didn't fare as well. It did make it to #6, but it only made $5.3 mil. Eastern Promises was given a wider release, bringing it from #21 to #5 to a tepid $6 mil. People came to their senses and Dragon Wars dropped five spots to #10. And even Mr. Woodcock dropped 4 spots and looks like it'll make just about $20 mil if it's lucky.
The Into the Wild indie made $207,000 in the 4 theaters it was released in. While The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, released in 5 theaters, made $144,000. Unfortunately, The Jane Austen Book Club didn't do so well. It only made $161,000 in the 25 theaters it was released in.
Next week, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner show their Kingdom, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson supposedly has a funny Game Plan, and Ang Lee asks you to peer into his heart once more with Lust, Caution. As for the indies, Wes Anderson's Darjeeling Limited and Greg Kinnear's Feast of Love hit theaters.
