What’s propelling Resident Evil higher was its release in China this week–it debuted there on October 5, and it’s expected to make $35 million in China for its first week. If this comes to fruition, Resident Evil should pass $280 million globally this week.<\/p>\n

The previous Resident Evil movies from director Paul W.S. Anderson also performed phenomenally in China. The last one, 2016’s The Final Chapter, made $159.5 million in China alone, making up more than 51% of the movie’s worldwide gross of $312.2 million. It’s the highest-grossing Resident Evil movie ever. Cregger’s Resident Evil still has work to do to catch up.<\/p>\n

Cregger’s earlier movie, 2022’s Barbarian, made $46 million worldwide. Long before that, Cregger made Miss March, and it earned $4.6 million worldwide. <\/p>\n
