Resident Evil Reboot Dominates US Box Office with $108.3M Global Debut

The 'Resident Evil' reboot dominated the US box office this weekend, debuting with $60 million domestically and $108.3 million worldwide, far exceeding Sony's initial $40 million expectations. Directed by Zach Cregger, the film marks the franchise's best opening ever, surpassing all previous installments. Its global debut nearly matches the total earnings of 'Resident Evil 4: Ultratumba', the series' former top earner, with a production budget near $80 million. The audience was predominantly young and male, earning a B+ CinemaScore. Meanwhile, 'Prácticamente magia 2' fell to second place with a 59.5% drop, while 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' and 'La Odisea' held third and fourth positions in a slow September market.
