Resident Evil has crossed $300 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film in the franchise and marking Zach Cregger’s biggest hit yet. The reboot, starring Austin Abrams, landed at #3 in North America this weekend with $8.6 million over its fourth three-day frame — bringing its domestic total to $138.7 million. Internationally, it surged 227% to rake in $54.3 million, pushing its global cume to $320.4 million across 64 markets. China and Japan drove the overseas momentum, with the film topping the charts in both territories for a second week. It has now outpaced The Final Chapter as the franchise’s top earner globally. Cregger’s previous high was Weapons, released in 2025, but that film is now surpassed. The movie, which opened on September 18, is on track to cross $400 million worldwide. Box office figures are estimates and not independently verified.
