- Resident Evil is projected to clear $280M+ worldwide by week's end, becoming director Zach Cregger's highest-grossing film at the box office
- Sony/Constantin's Resident Evil earned a $35M debut in China, which lifted the film past the $270M WW final of Cregger's previous record-holder, New Line's Weapons
Why it matters: With back-to-back horror films clearing $270M WW — Weapons ending at $270M and Resident Evil pushing past $280M — Cregger is now a two-time horror heavyweight, and Sony/Constantin lands a major theatrical win from a filmmaker whose prior commercial ceiling was set at a rival studio.
