Zach Cregger directed the live-action Resident Evil film. A Game Spark review notes that Cregger builds the story around an ordinary citizen rather than series figures like Leon or Chris. The film series ran from Milla Jovovich's action-driven entries through Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, which returned to the early games while changing character settings.
In Japan, the Resident Evil reboot opened at #2 over a three-day frame, selling 356,000 tickets and earning 626,567,150 yen. It placed behind Eiga Chiikawa: Ningyo no Shima no Himitsu, which rose from #4 to #1 in its 12th weekend with 375,000 tickets and 562,647,900 yen. The fifth Girls und Panzer das Finale film opened at #5 with 267,301,400 yen.
Separately, Warner Bros. is developing a film adaptation of Siren Head, the internet-born monster created by Canadian artist Trevor Henderson. Cregger and Brian Duffield are co-writing the script, with Duffield directing. The project follows A24's The Backrooms, which became a box office hit.
