Despite the fact that it’s getting hammered by the critics, Underworld Evolution just plain old has far more market appeal than anything else in the theaters this weekend (come to think of it… when is Kate Beckinsale in tight leather ever NOT the most appealing thing you can think of?) and EASILY took the #1 spot at the boxoffice almost making more than the number 2,3 AND 4 films combined.
All in all, Underworld Evolution took in $27.6 million, which makes it the 4th largest January opening in history after 1997’s Star Wars (Special Edition), Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down and the comedy Along Came Polly (go figure).
The film cost under $50 million to make… so you might as well get ready for Underworld 3 (something I won’t complain about). via
