Sony Pictures' new Resident Evil film, directed by Zach Cregger, has significantly exceeded box office expectations, marking another major success for the studio following Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The strong performance demonstrates the enduring commercial appeal of the Resident Evil franchise and marks a significant achievement for Cregger's filmmaking career.

The film earned $60 million domestically and $108.3 million internationally, totalling $168.3 million globally against a $75 million budget. This represents more than double the previous franchise record held by Resident Evil: Afterlife, which earned $26 million domestically in 2010. The film is expected to remain profitable even after accounting for marketing costs, and critical reception has been positive, with reviewers describing it as "the best Resident Evil film ever" and praising its balance of horror and humour.
