By Oct. 24, the film\u2019s total in China had already pushed past $60 million<\/strong>, making Resident Evil just the fourth Hollywood release to hit that mark in the country in 2026.<\/p>\n\n

It opened on Oct. 5 during China\u2019s Golden Week holiday, pulled in about $12.1 million from Oct. 9 to 11, added $9.3 million from Oct. 16 to 18, and reportedly collected $12.2 million<\/strong> on its first day, the biggest opening day ever for a Hollywood horror title in the market.<\/p>\n\n

Worldwide, Resident Evil is now closing in on $400 million<\/strong> against a reported $75 million production budget.<\/p>\n\n

If you keep an eye on China\u2019s box office, this run stands out. The National Day holiday period fell 36% year over year<\/strong> to a 12-year low, year-to-date box office was about $4.67 billion as of Oct. 19, down 29.2% from 2025, and domestic films accounted for eight of China\u2019s top 10 releases in 2026.<\/p>\n\n

Analysts have said the real story has less to do with travel or short-video apps and more to do with the shortage of strong local crowd-pleasers, which has left Resident Evil in a good position to benefit from brand recognition, a relatively open lane, and repeat audiences<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
