Overview
- The film grossed about $60 million in North America during its opening weekend and sits near $108 million worldwide after early international returns.
- Friday receipts in North America were reported at $26.3 million, which included $8.8 million from Thursday previews and exceeded Sony's original expectations.
- Early reception has been unusually strong for the franchise, with high Rotten Tomatoes scores and a CinemaScore of B+ from opening audiences.
- Zach Cregger directed the bloodier, fan-tinged reboot that stars Austin Abrams with Zach Cherry, Kali Reis and Paul Walter Hauser and was produced by TriStar, Constantin and Davis Film.
- Industry observers note the film nearly matched the full North American lifetime gross of the past sequel Resident Evil: Afterlife in a single weekend, a result that could reshape studio plans and sequel prospects.
