Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil is officially the best-performing film in the series

It still has a ways to go if we adjust for inflation. After three weeks in theaters, Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil has become the highest-grossing film in the franchise, topping 2016’s Final Chapter . It does things differently to its predecessors in every conceivable way, and while it doesn’t stick to the nitty-gritty details of Resident Evil as a setting and story, it certainly delivers an unrelenting and fun experience. This was confirmed by Global Box Office via X. Resident Evil (2026) has grossed over $320 million.
