How Resident Evil reached $200 million
The milestone was flagged in a post from DiscussingFilm on X and cross-checked against Box Office Mojo, according to FandomWire.
The reboot had reached $196.4 million worldwide, with $103.4 million in the US, according to Bloody Disgusting. That made it the first Resident Evil film to pass $100 million domestically.

Cregger’s box office record so far
Cregger’s 2022 debut Barbarian finished with about $46 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo figures cited by FandomWire. Weapons (2025) remains his biggest hit at $270 million.
Resident Evil is roughly $70 million short of that total. It has already set his best opening, with $60 million in North America and $108.3 million worldwide, according to Deadline.
The film stars Austin Abrams as a medical courier caught in an outbreak at a Raccoon City hospital.
What China and Japan could add
According to Dread Central, China opens on 5 October and Japan on 9 October. Those two markets delivered nearly $196 million of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter‘s $312.2 million total.
That film is still the franchise’s highest grosser. Dread Central noted that a repeat is not guaranteed.

In the UK and Ireland, Resident Evil opened at number one with £4.2 million, according to Dork. It reached cinemas on 18 September, as previewed in our teaser coverage.
What Cregger does next
Cregger has since moved on to a Weapons prequel, which he teased at Comic-Con. No Resident Evil sequel has been confirmed, according to FandomWire.
