Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil reboot gets 95-minute runtime on AMC listing

AMC Theatres has listed Zach Cregger‘s Resident Evil reboot with a runtime of one hour and 35 minutes, ahead of its September 18, 2026 release starring Austin Abrams as courier Bryan.

TL;DR

• AMC’s website lists Resident Evil at 95 minutes, one of the shortest films in the franchise.
• The film releases September 18, 2026, including UK cinemas and premium formats like IMAX.
• Cregger co-wrote the script with Shay Hatten and directs from an original story tied to Raccoon City’s outbreak.
• Cast includes Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, Paul Walter Hauser, and Johnno Wilson.

A listing on the AMC Theatres website confirms the official runtime for Cregger’s Resident Evil, according to Bloody Disgusting. At 95 minutes, it lands among the shortest entries the franchise has produced. The site notes the runtime makes it noticeably leaner than the 2002 Milla Jovovich original, which ran 100 minutes.

What the runtime tells us

Cregger, known for Barbarian and the upcoming ensemble horror Weapons, is not adapting a specific Capcom game. Instead the story follows Bryan navigating Raccoon City’s collapse amid the T-virus outbreak, a premise ComicBook.com describes as tracking one character “from Point A to Point B.”

Cregger told IGN, as cited by Bloody Disgusting, that the film “basically stays like that until the end” once the action begins early on. That framing lines up with a compact runtime built around momentum rather than an ensemble cast.
