Zach Cregger’s “Resident Evil” tops the North American box office with a franchise-best opening weekend, taking in about $60 million at the U.S. and Canada box office. The film earns the lead across the period covered by studio reporting, marking its strongest early performance for the franchise.
According to studio estimates cited by outlets, the release plays in 3,684 locations in the United States and Canada. All three reports frame the debut as a boost to the weekend’s overall ticket sales and highlight that it represents a best-ever franchise start. The coverage does not substantially diverge on the core performance figures, location count, or the overall significance of the opening.
