I was going to stay away from this topic, mostly because the movie is a disgrace to movies everywhere, but it is a really slow news day. Below is a list of “game” movies and the opening weekend sales. Max Payne compared to other movie games did not fair too poorly.

* “Max Payne” — $18 million
* “In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale” — $2.98 million
* “Hitman” — $13.18 million
* “Resident Evil: Extinction” — $23.67 million
* “Silent Hill” — $20.15 million
* “Doom” — $15.48 million
* “BloodRayne” – $1.5 million
* “Alone in the Dark” — $2.83 million
* “Resident Evil: Apocalypse” — $23.03 million
