"Resident Evil: Apocalypse" Opens At #1
"Resident Evil: Apocalypse," the sequel to 2002's "Resident Evil," based on a video game series about blowing apart shuffling, bio-poisoned zombie attackers, opened at No. 1 at the box office over the weekend, bringing in $23.7 million.
"'Cellular' did O.K., but every other movie was just treading water behind 'Resident Evil,' " said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box office tracker Exhibitor Relations, which tracks box-office results.
"Resident Evil: Apocalypse" stars Milla Jovovich as Alice, a security chief who tries to help a group of survivors escape a zombified metropolis before the city of ghouls is annihilated by a nuclear strike. The film's audience was mainly under 25 and male.
"Certainly this is an adaptation from a game, so it has its own audience," said Rory Brewer, distribution chief for Sony, which released the film. "The zombies aspect of it is just fun."

| Honestly | |
| While the first film was closely related to the game I found it enjoyable. The sequel however was a complete joke. Total waste of film. Not enough gore, not enough focus on the zombies and whats up with Nemmie turning into a "good guy" C'MON!! | |
