Zach Cregger's Resident Evil reboot is proving popular at home as its theatrical run winds down. Collider reports that the film is the second-most-watched movie on the Amazon charts in the US at the time of writing.
According to the article, it has moved ahead of several of the year's biggest titles on that chart, including Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the year's highest-grossing film so far, as well as Obsession and Practical Magic 2. The only film ahead of it is Verity, the latest Colleen Hoover adaptation, starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett. Collider notes that Verity received poor reviews from critics but was a box office success.
In theaters, Resident Evil has been a favorite over seven weeks, earning a reported $400 million worldwide against a production budget of $75 million. The article says that, unlike the live-action Street Fighter film, it was helped by its reviews. It holds a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Collider's Carly Lane wrote that "when Resident Evil works, it really works."
The comparison with Street Fighter is stark. Directed by Kitao Sakurai, that film scored 41% on Rotten Tomatoes and has reportedly returned $93 million on an $82 million budget.
