Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil reboot has reached an estimated $400 million at the worldwide box office, making it the highest-grossing film in the franchise’s history. The R-rated horror film achieved the milestone during its seventh weekend in theatres and is on course to become only the 12th horror film to cross the $400 million mark globally.
According to the latest box office estimates, the Sony Pictures release earned another $7.5 million internationally over the weekend, representing a 27.2% decline from the previous frame. Its international total now stands at approximately $242.6 million across 67 markets, bringing its combined worldwide earnings to $400 million.
The film is currently just behind Backrooms, which earned $400.6 million globally and occupies 11th place among the highest-grossing horror films. With its theatrical run continuing, Resident Evil is expected to move ahead of that figure.
In the United States, the film added an estimated $2.5 million over the weekend, falling just 13% from the previous week. Its domestic total has now reached approximately $157 million. The relatively small decline was helped by a return to IMAX screenings, despite the film losing another 205 theatres on Friday and facing competition from newer releases.
Resident Evil is expected to finish its theatrical run with worldwide earnings between $415 million and $425 million. Its final domestic total is projected to reach approximately $160 million.
The reboot was produced on a reported budget of $75 million, excluding marketing expenses. It opened in cinemas on September 18, 2026, through Sony Pictures Releasing and earned $60.2 million during its domestic opening weekend, setting a new September opening record for horror films.
Directed by Zach Cregger and starring Austin Abrams, the film follows a medical courier caught in the early stages of a deadly outbreak in Raccoon City. The story takes a different direction from the previous Resident Evil film continuity, offering a new interpretation of Capcom’s survival horror franchise.
