"Resident Evil" reboot approaches the $200 million mark at the global box office.
The sci-fi horror "Resident Evil" has pulled in close to $200 million at the global box office. Box Office data shows the "domestic" market — the US plus several other territories — accounted for the largest share, with over $100 million earned there. The film's overall budget stood at $75 million.
Sony Pictures representatives confirmed the adaptation, directed by Zach Cregger, landed at the top of the worldwide box office in its opening weekend. Constantin Film has yet to release final financial figures; current numbers from Box Office and similar tracking services rely on forecasts and attendance-tracking algorithms.
Critics have responded strongly to the franchise reboot. On Rotten Tomatoes it carries Certified Fresh status with a 96% approval rating. Audience engagement is also high — over a million Letterboxd users have already logged the film as watched.
