The creatures she meets in her Horrorland are weirder and more menacing — supercomputers and a million zombies instead of Mad Hatters and caterpillars — and her legion of fans no less ravenous to attend her tales. Every three years comes another episode; it instructs the audience to “eat me” … and the grosses grow ever larger. The fourth installment, _Resident Evil: Afterlife_, opened to a scrumptious $27.7 million at the North American box office, according to early studio estimates. That meant utter annihilation for any movie in its wake: the picture’s take for the post–Labor Day weekend was greater than the next six films combined. Some monsters just can’t be stopped. Based on Shinji Mikami’s 1996 PlayStation video game and its sequels, and Hollywoodized by Brit writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson (who added the Alice character), the film series began in 2002, with the first movie earning $17.7 million its opening weekend and a total of $40.2 million domestic and $102.4 million worldwide. The numbers were more robust for the 2004 sequel, _Apocalypse_ ($23 million, $51.2 million and $129.4 million), and bigger still for the 2007 _Extinction_ ($23.7 million, $50.6 million and $147.7 million). This weekend, in addition to the win in North America, _Afterlife_ took in another $45.5 million abroad, including $15.5 million in Japan and $9.5 million in Russia. The series has now amassed about $450 million worldwide. [(See TIME’s Fall Entertainment Preview.)](https://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/0,28757,2016836,00.html) Spurred by its release in 3-D (it was shot in the stereoscopic process, not shot in a flat version then tarted up in faux-D), _Afterlife_ scored a mammoth $8,648 per screen, more than three times as much as its nearest competitor, _Takers_, the heist drama that held well in its third week, and four times the score of _The American_, the George Clooney assassination thriller that was last weekend’s No. 1\. _Afterlife_‘s weekend take was also the all-time highest opening gross for a zombie movie, edging out the $26.7 million for the 2004 _Dawn of the Dead_ remake and the $24.7 million for last year’s _Zombieland_ — its studio, Sony, surely wants _Resident Evil_ to stay undead. Every other movie tanked this weekend, except for _The Twilight Saga: Eclipse_, which added 800 theaters and increased its business 72% from last week. It was a chance for vampire and werewolf fans to demonstrate that zombies don’t have the monopoly on a movie audience’s affections.
