## Summary

Zach Cregger’s latest *Resident Evil* film has grossed $400 million worldwide after about seven weeks in cinemas, making it a major commercial success. Its digital release for purchase or rental began on 3 November, giving the film a new route to reach audiences and potentially extend its earnings.

Starring Austin Abrams, the reboot takes a different approach from Paul W. S. Anderson’s earlier films, mixing humour with horror and aiming to recreate the claustrophobic feel of the games. It was made on a $75 million budget and is the third horror film of the year to reach $400 million; the article notes that films commonly need to earn about three times their budget to break even. The previous film series has grossed $1.6 billion in total.
