Resident Evil Reboot Hits $400M, Becomes Franchise High

China receipts above $70 million lifted the film to an estimated $400 million global total, underscoring renewed studio interest in sequels.

Overview

  • Industry trackers reported the Zach Cregger‑directed, R‑rated Resident Evil has reached roughly $400 million worldwide with a domestic cume near $157.3–157.4 million and international receipts around $242.6 million.
  • A late rollout in mainland China produced more than $70 million in ticket sales for the film, pushing its international haul and helping it climb to the top of the franchise’s box‑office chart.
  • Trackers say the movie is on course to finish between about $415 million and $425 million worldwide, which would place it among 2026’s top horror performers and near the all‑time top 10 for the genre.
  • The film’s moderate estimated production cost, reported at roughly $75 million in earlier coverage, together with strong overseas returns has improved its profit outlook and prompted studio discussions about sequels that have not been officially greenlit.
  • All totals cited are based on industry estimates compiled by box‑office trackers and media outlets and have not been independently verified, so final studio accounting may differ from the reported figures.
