It currently stands at $247.6 million worldwide.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RESIDENT EVIL \u2013 Official Trailer (4K)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mNd1gb19A-c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s propelling Resident Evil higher was its release in China this week&#8211;it debuted there on October 5, and it&#8217;s expected to make $35 million in China for its first week. If this comes to fruition, Resident Evil should pass $280 million globally this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The previous Resident Evil movies from director Paul W.S. Anderson also performed phenomenally in China. The last one, 2016&#8217;s The Final Chapter, made $159.5 million in China alone, making up more than 51% of the movie&#8217;s worldwide gross of $312.2 million. It&#8217;s the highest-grossing Resident Evil movie ever. Cregger&#8217;s Resident Evil still has work to do to catch up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cregger&#8217;s earlier movie, 2022&#8217;s Barbarian, made $46 million worldwide. Long before that, Cregger made Miss March, and it earned $4.6 million worldwide. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of all video game movies, Resident Evil ranks No. 17, but if it does indeed reach $280 million, it will pass 2018&#8217;s Tomb Raider ($274.6 million worldwide).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resident Evil is doing great commercially and scored solid reviews from critics, so people might expect a sequel. That could happen, but Cregger has said he&#8217;s finished with franchise movies, even though he does have ideas for more stories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cregger&#8217;s next movie is The Flood, a deep-space sci-fi movie starring Jennifer Lawrence. It has nothing to do with Halo, despite bearing a name with ties to Halo.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/resident-evil-movie-will-become-zach-creggers-biggest-ever-surpassing-weapons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zach Cregger has another hit on his hands with Resident Evil, and it&#8217;s set to become his biggest movie ever by revenue at the box&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":91199,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[978,26589,503,1543,4418,31279,3119,16241],"class_list":["post-91198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-biggest","tag-creggers","tag-evil","tag-movie","tag-resident","tag-surpassing","tag-weapons","tag-zach","wpcat-32-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=91198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/91199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=91198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=91198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=91198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
