The new Resident Evil film, directed by Zach Cregger and distributed by Sony Pictures, generated $60 million in ticket sales across the United States and Canada during its opening weekend of September 19‑20, 2026. The earnings were recorded from screenings in 3,684 theaters nationwide.
The box‑office tally reflects the combined revenue from both markets for the two‑day opening period. Sony Pictures reported that the film was shown in a wide release pattern, reaching nearly four thousand venues across the two countries.
This performance establishes the opening as the highest‑grossing debut ever for the Resident Evil franchise. No previous entry in the series has surpassed the $60 million figure achieved in its first weekend. The record marks a notable milestone for a franchise that has spanned multiple films and media formats.
The weekend results place the film among the top domestic openings for September releases in recent years. Sony Pictures has not released further financial details beyond the opening weekend total. The data underscores the continued commercial appeal of the Resident Evil brand in North America as it enters its latest cinematic installment.
