New Resident Evil film tracks toward franchise-record US$40–50M opening weekend

Box Office Pro projects Zach Cregger's Resident Evil film to open at US$40–50 million in North America on its September 17 release — nearly double the franchise's best domestic launch, Resident Evil: Afterlife's US$26.6 million in 2010. The 2021 reboot, Welcome to Raccoon City, grossed just US$42 million globally across its entire run.
