Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil Crosses $400M Worldwide
Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil film has achieved major box office success, becoming the franchise’s highest-grossing theatrical release. The film has earned $400 million worldwide, comprising $157.4 million in North America and $242.6 million internationally.
Following its September opening, which generated $108 million globally across its opening weekend, the film has surpassed Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) as the franchise’s most commercially successful theatrical adaptation. The achievement also marks a significant milestone in Cregger’s filmmaking career, as Resident Evil has become his biggest box office success to date, surpassing his previous record of $270 million worldwide for Weapons.
The success reflects strong audience reception for Cregger’s vision of the franchise. The director had previously expressed confidence in his approach, noting that he underestimated the level of appreciation audiences would show for his take on the Resident Evil source material.
