Resident Evil tops global box office as Other Mommy opens to $45.1 million

Resident Evil topped the global weekend box office in its fourth frame after opening in China.

The film has earned $320.2 million worldwide, making it director Zach Cregger’s highest-grossing movie.

China contributed $40.6 million, the strongest opening for a horror film there in two years, while the film opened in Japan with $3.6 million.

Other Mommy, a horror film starring Jessica Chastain, opened with $45.1 million across 51 territories.

Its opening included $27.5 million in the United States and Canada and $17.6 million internationally.

The result shows that horror films can draw large audiences even when reviews are poor.

The figures cover the opening weekend; no later box-office plans or next steps are given.
