Overview
- The Zach Cregger–directed Resident Evil crossed the $400 million global mark in early November, making it the highest‑grossing film in the long‑running franchise.
- Industry tallies put the split at about $157.4 million in North America and $242.6 million in overseas markets, with the film continuing to earn in several territories.
- China has been the key late driver, where the movie has earned roughly $70–71 million and held multiple weekends at No. 1 during its October rollout.
- Produced for an estimated $75 million, the film’s returns make it clearly profitable for Sony and have generated renewed studio and analyst talk about sequel potential, though no sequel has been officially greenlit.
- The reboot opened with a franchise‑best domestic debut and benefited from positive reviews and steady audience turnout, placing it among a small group of horror films to exceed $400 million worldwide.
