Resident Evil: The Franchise That's Setting Box Office Records
The weekend just got a whole lot more exciting as out-of-the-gate, Zach Cregger's take on Resident Evil has already posted the best previews ever for the franchise, raking in north of $8M and possibly even north of $9M. This suggests that fans are ready for another action-packed installment in the series.
The outlook going into the weekend was $40M-$50M, but industry insiders believe this movie could go over $50M. Its critical score on Rotten Tomatoes (96% certified fresh) and audience score at 91% are a testament to its appeal. This is similar to how Resident Evil is posting the series' best critical score.
A recent report revealed that audiences are flocking to anime on Netflix at a rate of 10 times that of other genres, indicating strong interest in this genre. Meanwhile, "Resident Evil" is expected to soar to new heights with its $80M global debut.
The Sony/Constantin R-rated feature adaptation of the Capcom video game began previews for domestic stateside theaters at 2PM, and it's already playing in premium large format (PLFs) and Imax, further amplifying its reach.
