Resident Evil opened to $26.3M on its Friday debut, averaging $7,139 per theater across 3,684 screens — a wide, studio-scale rollout rather than a limited specialty release.
The catch: a per-theater average north of $7,000 across nearly 3,700 screens is a genuinely strong signal for a film without a built-in franchise cast — the kind of number that usually reflects real opening-night curiosity, not just a wide theater count.
Director Zach Cregger's last two genre features turned into some of horror's biggest word-of-mouth stories in recent years — a track record that raises the bar for what this strong Friday needs to become by Sunday, not just what it needed to open to.
