Box Office Report: Sept. 21-23

Yet another third installment in a film series managed to take the top spot at the box office over the weekend. But unlike the success of “Spider-Man,” “Shrek” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequels, this one was a bit more of a surprise. “Resident Evil: Extinction” grabbed $23.7 million to easily hold off “Good Luck Chuck,” starring Dane Cook and Jessica Alba, for first place. The debut was the biggest of the three in the inexplicably popular “Resident Evil” series, which is based on a video game.

“The Brave One,” last week’s number one, slid down to third place, with $7.3 million. “Eastern Promises,” the latest from director David Cronenberg, expanded its release and took fifth place.
