RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER COMES 4TH IN ITS OPENING WEEKEND!!


 The Friday-Sunday estimates are in. As reported by Entertainment Weekly yesterday, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter made $13.9 million at the US box office to land in the No. 4 position for its opening weekend. The No. 1 movie was M. Night M. Night Shyamalan's Split, which has been on top for two weeks running now. The Final Chapter was also outperformed by A Dog's Purpose ($18.4 million) and Hidden Figures ($14 million). You can see the full Top 10 list below.
The Resident Evil movie series historically performs better when it goes out internationally. That's already the case for The Final Chapter, as it's made $64.5 million of its $78.4 million total from international regions. The series is poised to pass $1 billion soon; there have now been six entries in the series dating back to 2002.
  1. Split – $26.3 million
  2. A Dog's Purpose – $18.4 million
  3. Hidden Figures – $14 million
  4. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter – $13.9 million
  5. La La Land – $12 million
  6. xXx: Return of Xander Cage – $8.3 million
  7. Sing – $6.2 million
  8. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – $5.1 million
  9. Monster Trucks – $4.1 million
  10. Gold – $3.5 million.

 According to Box Office Mojo, The Final Chapter pulled in $5.1 million at the US box office on Friday, behind A Dog's Purpose ($5.3 million) and Split ($7.9 million).
The original story is below.
The newest video game movie, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, is out now. It opened on Thursday evening and made $1 million from those early screenings in the US, according to Variety.
It was expected to make as much as $14 million this weekend just gone at the US box office. The film had a reported $40 million budget and is said to be the final entry in the series.
Last week's No. 1 movie, the M. Night Shyamalan thriller Split, made $40 million for its opening. Variety said it is expected to perform well again, finishing the weekend "in the high teens" in terms of millions of dollars.
The Final Chapter is going up against another new release, A Dog's Purpose, which is expected to make as much as $22 million this weekend to land at No. 1.
Another notable element of this weekend's box office is that a number of films are either growing their movie theater footprint or returning to theaters to celebrate their Oscar nominations. For example, the hit musical La La Land, which picked up a record-tying 14 nominations, will play at 3,136 US locations this weekend, compared to 1,850 last weekend. Additionally, the sci-fi movie Arrival, which received eight nominations, is returning to theaters with bonus commentary from the director and stars. I recommend watching all these films apart from A dog's Purpose.
The final chapter is the sixth movie in the series, all of which have been directed by Paul W.S. Anderson with Milla Jovovich in the starring role of Alice.
The newest Resident Evil game, Resident Evil 7, launched this week for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
