After some slow weekends, the box office did rebound this weekend as both new releases this week did gross at least 15 million this weekend. In first place was the fifth Resident Evil movie, 'Retribution'. While this latest entry in the franchise received the usual negative reception from critics that the other films in the series have gotten, it did take in 20.6 million, continuing the franchise's solid run at the box office. Right behind 'Retribution' was the 3-D re-release of Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo, took in 17.5 million, not on par with the highly successful 3-D re-release of 'The Lion King' last September. Meanwhile, on the limited release market, Paul Thomas Anderson's 'The Master' had the best opening weekend for a limited release with a 'per theater' gross of $145,949. This beats the previous mark of $130,759 held by 'Moonrise Kingdom'.
