RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION And FINDING NEMO 3D Own Box Office

Finally some action at the box office! It's been awhile since a movie has taken the bull by the horns but now we have a couple of 3D movies playing in the rodeo. Both movies have a history of course so that helps too. And are going #1 and #2 for the weekend right now.

RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION  is the fifth installment of the Resident Evil franchise and it not showing much signs of slowing down at all. In fact, 3D has seemed to inject even further energy into the series starring Milla Jovovich. RE:R took in $8.4 million on Friday and is expected to bring in between $22-25 million this weekend which isn't far from it's last installment that brought in ~$26 million back a couple of years ago.

FINDING NEMO 3D is of course the re-release of the beloved Pixar tale this time being presented in 3D. NEMO brought in $5.1 million on Friday and is looking at a ~$18 - 20 million weekend. If you haven't seen the movie - by all means go see it. Especially in 3D!

So - a great weekend for 3D movie fans and seeing as though these are two movies I have been anxiously awaiting, I'm going to be busy this the next couple of days. Enjoy!

Check out a couple more cool shots of Milla Jovovich in RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION! That must be one hard top to get out of with all those buckles. But she is definitely packing heat dual wielding those suckers, is she not?

Here's the movie's storyline:
The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by new found allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.

RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION opens September 14.

Must Watch: Full Trailer For RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION

I see an expanded budget here! Looking good too. After the last installment in the franchise I called for more "zombies" and less super-powered creatures and it appears that my wishes are being met! I see hordes of zombies in the new full trailer for RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION and plenty of action, complete with a revisit to Alice's family memories. But were her memories true or implanted?

And of course, Michelle Rodriguez is so welcome back! She needs to stay in future movies please. :-) 

RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION is shot in native 3D on 3ality Technica rigs so expect the best in visuals!
