Zach Cregger’s take on survival horror in his recent Resident Evil<\/a> film has gone down pretty well\u2014ask just about anyone here at PC Gamer and they’ll tell you how much they loved the interpretation<\/a>. But it’s not just done well critically, Resident Evil is also raking in the cash.<\/p>\n

Cregger’s Resident Evil earned $23 million across the US and Canada in its second week (via Fangoria<\/a>), second only to the re-release of Avengers: Endgame, which has returned to theaters in the lead up to Avengers: Doomsday. But Resident Evil did manage to beat out Brad Pitt’s The Heart of the Beast and the Chris Hansen biopic Primetime, a pretty impressive achievement. <\/p>\n

$23 million may not sound like a lot, especially when you chalk it up against the whopping $75 million Sony Pictures spent making the film, so it’s a good thing that Resident Evil has made way more money overall. Looking at The Numbers<\/a>, Cregger’s Resident Evil is already the third most lucrative movie in the Resident Evil film franchise, with $60 million earned in its opening weekend, $103 million in total domestic box office, and an impressive $197 million in the worldwide box office. <\/p>\n

Interestingly, Cregger’s Resident Evil is easily the top domestic box office Resident Evil film ever, with Paul W. S. Anderson’s Resident Evil: Afterlife taking second place, and Resident Evil: Degeneration and Extinction vying for third place. <\/p>\n

But the worldwide box office tells a different story. Here, Cregger’s Resident Evil remains in fourth place, behind Resident Evil: The Final Chapter’s $314 million, as well as Resident Evil: Afterlife and Resident Evil: Retribution. <\/p>\n

The overall standings for top five grossing Resident Evil films\u2014so far<\/em>\u2014are as follows: <\/p>\n
