'Resident Evil' revival could open to $40M–$50M domestically

Deadline forecasts a $40 million–$50 million domestic opening for Zach Cregger’s 'Resident Evil' revival for the weekend following its September 17, 2026, analysis. With another $31 million projected overseas, the global total could reach around $80 million at the high end. The outlet sees the release as a potential boost for the fall box office after what it describes as an underwhelming start for 'Practical Magic 2,' following a record $4.67 billion summer.
