It was no big surprise that Resident Evil: Extinction cleaned up at the box office with a somewhat decent $24 million weekend. I was a bit surprised, however, that Good Luck Chuck managed to bring in $14 million despite horrible reviews and a confusing marketing campaign. The Brave One and 3:10 To Yuma continued to earn, mostly likely due to strong word of mouth, meanwhile David Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises took home $5.75 million in its first weekend with a wide release. Clearly the season of the blockbuster is behind us, but where are those fall sleeper hits?
