\n\tDirector Zach Cregger<\/a>\u2018s \u201cResident Evil<\/a>\u201d has notched a notable box office milestone, climbing to $400 million in global ticket sales.<\/p>\n

\n\tHis reboot of the \u201990s zombie video game has earned $157.399 million in North America and $242.6 million overseas for a worldwide haul of exactly $400 million. It\u2019s now the highest-grossing installment in the 24-year-old horror franchise, toppling 2016\u2019s \u201cResident Evil: The Final Chapter\u201d with $312 million globally. And it ranks as Cregger\u2019s biggest film to date, ranking above 2022\u2019s low-budget success \u201cBarbarian\u201d with $46 million and 2025\u2019s sleeper hit \u201cWeapons\u201d with a mighty $270 million worldwide.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cResident Evil\u201d opened in September to a series-best $60 million domestically and $108 million globally. That distinction previously belonged to 2010\u2019s \u201cResident Evil: Afterlife\u201d with $26 million, not adjusted for inflation. Buoyed by great reviews and positive audience scores, the movie remained a draw throughout October, a prime time for scary movies. Top overseas markets include China with $71.4 million, the United Kingdom with $19.4 million and Mexico with $12.7 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tCregger\u2019s take on the material \u2014 \u201cWeapons\u201d actor Austin Abrams plays a medical courier who fights through a viral outbreak of infested monsters in Raccoon City \u2014 comes five years after the studio last attempted to revive the property. That effort, 2021\u2019s \u201cResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City,\u201d was a critical and commercial failure with $42 million worldwide against a $25 million budget. The Capcom video game was first adapted for the big screen in 2002\u2019s \u201cResident Evil,\u201d starring Milla Jovovich. She reprised her role as Alice, a former security specialist and covert operative, in five follow-up films in the 2000s and 2010s.<\/p>\n

\n\tSony<\/a> produced this version of \u201cResident Evil\u201d for $75 million, so the sci-fi horror film will turn a tidy profit for the studio. Sony followed up this win, and the summer\u2019s sensation \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d (the third-biggest movie ever with $2.5 billion) with back-to-back duds. Aaron Sorkin\u2019s \u201cThe Social Reckoning\u201d left theaters with a paltry $9 million in North America and $17 million globally against a $30 million budget, while Taika Waititi\u2019s literary adaptation \u201cKlara and Sun\u201d has barely cracked $1 million domestically against a $20 million budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Director Zach Cregger\u2018s \u201cResident Evil\u201d has notched a notable box office milestone, climbing to $400 million in global…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,397,20995,834,20996],"class_list":["post-663941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies","tag-resident-evil","tag-sony","tag-zach-cregger"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
