Cregger’s Resident Evil film is already the 3rd highest grossing RE film with over $100 million at the domestic box office in under 2 weeks
Director Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil film adaptation has become a major commercial success, earning over $100 million at the domestic U.S. and Canadian box office in less than two weeks. The film has already achieved the distinction of being the third highest-grossing Resident Evil film of all time.
In its second weekend, the film earned $23 million, placing it second only to the re-release of Avengers: Endgame, which returned to theaters ahead of the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. The film outperformed several other theatrical releases including Brad Pitt’s The Heart of the Beast and the Chris Hansen biopic Primetim.
The commercial success reflects significant audience interest in Cregger’s survival horror interpretation. PC Gamer has highlighted the film’s critical reception, with staff at the publication praising the filmmaker’s take on the franchise. This strong performance demonstrates that video game adaptations continue to draw audiences to theaters when executed well, particularly within established franchises like Resident Evil.
