Resident Evil Movie Beats Box Office Expectations With $108 Million Opening

Resident Evil Movie Beats Box Office Expectations With $108 Million Opening https://ift.tt/YDVihlS The box office tallies for Resident Evil are in, and as expected , the new Zach Cregger-directed movie has been a big hit on its opening weekend. In North America, the film made $60 million, and globally, it brought in $48.3 million. That makes for a combined total of $108.3 million . That exceeds the original prediction of between $40 million and $50 million by a comfortable margin. How does that current box office tally stack up to previous live-action Resident Evil movies? https://youtu.be/KGlapnJFacE Cregger's new flick has already surpassed the lifetime box office totals of 2021's Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, and it looks like it'll be on track to earn more than the first three movie adaptations.

But then the plot really kicks in, and suddenly we're watching a Michael Bay Transformers movie--but without Bay's skill as an action filmmaker.

When Michael Bay was directing Transformers movies, they weren't exactly pinnacles of storytelling. In fact, they had awful stories that never even made sense together--each new movie would open with some reveal that made every previous movie make even less sense than they already did. But they were also Michael Bay movies, which means that (aside from Revenge of the Fallen) they had tons of extremely dope action and generally looked sick as hell even during the non-action parts.
