Resident Evil Director Is Already Thinking Sequels

Zach Cregger says he has already come up with further ideas for his Resident Evil film series, despite initially seeing the adaptation as a one-off. The film takes a different approach from the games, following a medical courier trying to survive in a zombie-infested Raccoon City.

A sequel looks more plausible as the film is projected to earn $35 million to $50 million domestically in its opening weekend, potentially a franchise record. The previous film, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, made $41.9 million worldwide over its entire cinema run. Cregger plans to make another film first: his original science-fiction story The Flood, due on 11 August 2028.
