Resident Evil Reboot Hits PVOD in Late October, Netflix in December

Sony Pictures' new horror reboot "Resident Evil" is projected to earn up to $50 million in its opening weekend, but will follow the studio's standard premium video on demand release pattern rather than an extended theatrical run. New Sony films typically reach PVOD one to six weeks after theatrical release, with recent titles like "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" arriving after one month and "GOAT" after five-and-a-half weeks. Based on this pattern, "Resident Evil" should hit digital platforms between Oct. 20 and Oct. 27. The film will later stream on Netflix through Sony's pay-1 window deal, likely arriving between Dec. 1 and Dec. 18 based on recent release timelines. PVOD prices typically range from $19.99 to $29.99 for purchase and $14.99 to $24.99 for 48-hour rentals.
