Cregger's Resident Evil crosses $100M at domestic box office in franchise history first

The film has hit $196.48 million at the global box office, currently running fourth behind Paul W.S. Anderson's Afterlife, Retribution, and The Final Chapter.

As Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil rolled past its second weekend in theaters, it continues to gather massive ticket sales at home and abroad. The film is the first in the Resident Evil franchise to cross over $100 million at the domestic box office.

The latest update on Resident Evil’s performance came from a report at Fangoria, which shared that Cregger’s take on the survival horror gaming franchise was able to hold its own against Brad Pitt and David Ayers Heart of the Beast and Lance Oppenheim and Robert Pattinson’s Primetime. It pulled in around $23 million in its second weekend, landing at $103.4 for domestic box office.

In addition to its domestic franchise milestone, Resident Evil has also pulled in $93 million at the international box office, making for a current tally of $196.48 million. That makes it the fourth best in the franchise history, trailing several films from Paul W.S. Anderson’s Milla Jovovich-staring series, including Resident Evil: Retribution ($240.6), Resident Evil: Afterlife ($295.9), and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter ($314.1 million) according to The Numbers.

Resident Evil remains in theaters now, so we don’t have a final tally yet, but Cregger’s take has continued to draw praise with a 96% critic and 91% viewer score on Rotten Tomatoes. As we watch for that final tally, stay tuned to the Resident Evil series topic for more news and updates.
