TriStar and FilmDistrict's Evil Dead remake topped the box office this Friday over Jurassic Park 3D in second, grossing $11.9 million from 3,025 theaters. Fede Alvarez directs the film starring Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Jessica Lucas, Lou Taylor Pucci and Elizabeth Blackmore, which looks to coin around $27 million over the weekend. Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park managed a decent $7million from its 2,771 theater return in 3D, and looks to bring in about $18 million come Sunday estimates time. Good news for Universal who're prepping a fourth installment in the franchise, with a yet-to-be-determined cast. Paramount's G.I. Joe Retaliation actioner which topped the charts last weekend, started its sophomore weekend with a Friday post of $6.4 million. Total domestic cume's now at $71.9 million, and overseas the film starring Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum and Bruce Willis, has made $80 million.
