Resident Evil Becomes Zach Cregger’s Biggest Film
Per the Variety report, Resident Evil passes Weapons to become Zach Cregger’s highest-grossing film, earning $400 million worldwide against Weapons’ $270 million.
Zach Cregger was very confident in his take on Resident Evil. He previously admitted he underestimated the love, appreciation, and desire for a Leon Kennedy-based film that follows the storyline of one of the games, but he believed fans would see his passion for the Resident Evil material shine through.
When the film first came out, it quickly rose to prominence as the highest-rated video game movie. The film now sits at 79 on Metacritic, still the highest-ranking Resident Evil movie on the platform.
Video game movies are performing well in 2026; the Super Mario Galaxy movie was one of the first of the year to cross the $1 billion box-office mark. Overall, the Resident Evil franchise is dominating this year, with the recently released Resident Evil Requiem still considered one of the year’s best games.
