TriStar Pictures/Constantin Film/Davis Films’ Resident Evil rang up a massive $108.3M worldwide, not only the best start the franchise has ever seen, but also Zach Cregger‘s biggest start as filmmaker surpassing the $70M WW reported opening of last year’s Weapons.
In addition, the opening alone for Resident Evil beats the global final of the original 2002 movie ($102.9M) as well as the last title, the failed reboot Welcome to Raccoon City ($41.9M). Currently, 2016’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter stands as the highest grossing title in the series with $312M (51% of that coming from China or $159.5M).
