Resident Evil Delivers Franchise-Best $108M Global Opening, Cregger’s Career High

Sony/TriStar’s Resident Evil opened to $108.3M worldwide, setting a franchise-opening record and marking Zach Cregger’s biggest directing debut. The haul exceeds the original 2002 film’s final $102.9M and outpaces last year’s reboot, while the series’ current crown still belongs to The Final Chapter at $312M. Early international markets showed strong performance with debuts across the UK, Mexico, France, Germany and more, signaling broad overseas appeal.
