Resident Evil at the worldwide box office
The horror picture established a new franchise benchmark on its first Monday domestically, pulling in $5.3 million to secure the seventh-largest Monday of all time for an R-rated horror release and the sixth-biggest Monday ever for a video-game adaptation. Zach Cregger’s reboot has accumulated a four-day domestic total of $65.5 million.
Data from Box Office Mojo shows that Resident Evil brought in a strong $48.3 million internationally during its debut weekend. It also marks the franchise’s first installment to cross the $100 million threshold globally in its opening weekend. Combined with its domestic earnings, the movie’s worldwide gross has reached $113.7 million. While it is projected to surpass $150 million by its second weekend, increased competition could cause it to relinquish the top spot in domestic rankings.
