Zach Cregger’s “Resident Evil” surpassed “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and conquered digital charts

The new Resident Evil adaptation showed great results not only in theaters.

Zach Cregger’s “Resident Evil” was released digitally on November 3 and immediately topped the US Fandango at Home chart for November 2–8. In terms of purchase and rental revenue, the horror movie surpassed “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and the thriller “The Secret Diary of Verity.” Following its digital release, the film also took first place in the US Apple TV Store.

In theaters, the reboot grossed $409.5 million on a $75 million production budget, becoming the second highest-grossing horror film of 2026 after “Obessia.” Additionally, it set a record among Resident Evil adaptations, surpassing “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter” with its $314.1 million. On Rotten Tomatoes, Cregger’s film holds 96% positive reviews from critics and a 90% positive audience score.

Despite the film’s success, Sony has not yet announced a sequel. Cregger himself previously shared that he has ideas for new installments and would like to be involved in their creation. However, the director is ready to return to the franchise only after completing his next project—the sci-fi thriller “The Flood” starring Jennifer Lawrence.
