Resident Evil Overtakes Weapons as Zach Cregger's Highest-Grossing Film, The Social Reckoning Bombs

Resident Evil beat Weapons to become director Zach Cregger's highest-grossing film while The Social Reckoning bombed at the box office.

The live-action adaptation of Capcom's classic survival horror series turned heads as it reached an estimated worldwide total of $320.2 million over the weekend. With $138.5 million domestically and $181.7 million internationally, Resident Evil has officially cleared Weapons' $270 million with a few weeks and change to spare.

Cregger brought his re-imagined Raccoon City to the big screen on September 18, 2026, making this weekend its fourth in theaters. The massive jump – which saw it return to the number one spot, globally – was largely propelled by its premiere in China. Of the whopping $62.65 million it accumulated through weekend four, $40.6 million was earned in China alone. Its victory over Weapons already seemed secure, but as it stands atop Cregger's catalog, it's also continuing to leave its reported $75 million budget in the dust.
