Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich, this fifth installment of the zombie film franchise saw its lowest numbers on an opening day since it’s original debut in 2002. Five movies is a lot. Maybe people aren’t buying the whole zombie-killing-genre anymore? Even worse, the movie had a budget of $65 million! Ouch.
Finding Nemo in 3D swam into second spot with $17.5 million, proving cartoon fish n’ friends are still all the rave over third place winner, The Possession. The demon child (played by Natasha Calis) with stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick fell closer to hell this weekend with only $5.8 million in box office sales.
Shooting up fourth place is Lawless starring Shia LeBeouf, Jessica Chastain and Tom Hardy. This prohibition, old-time gangster movie earned $4.2 million, falling from last week’s $9.7 million dollar debut.
ParaNorman, “normal” ghost-seeing kid, featuring the voices of Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, Leslie Mann and John Goodman haunted the charts at fifth place earning $3 million.
