[weber_dubois22]

After becoming the highest-grossing entry in its series last weekend, Resident Evil: Afterlife slowed a bit but had no problem leading the overseas box office for the third frame in a row. Eat Pray Love opened in a handful of major territories and moved in to second place, while Inception extended its impressive run and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps had a respectable but unremarkable debut.

Afterlife dipped 39 percent to $24.3 million, with its only noteworthy openings occurring in France ($3.5 million) and Hong Kong ($768,324). It's now made $154.1 million overseas, which is more than the first two Resident Evil movies made combined. On the worldwide front, Afterlife passed the $200 million mark on Sunday. [SOURCE]
