Zach Cregger’s ‘Resident Evil’ reportedly opens to $60 million domestically

DiscussingFilm reports a $60 million domestic opening for Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil, saying it has already set the franchise’s domestic box-office record. A user puts the worldwide opening at $108.3 million against a $75 million production budget. The domestic result also drew an argument that the reboot’s appeal goes beyond video game nostalgia: one reaction suggests Cregger’s name could itself become part of the box-office pitch.
