Resident Evil’s Spooky Success: India’s Box Office Warms Up to Chilling Reboot

The chilling saga of Resident Evil continues to weave its spell over Indian audiences, with the horror reboot pulling in a solid Rs. 2 crore on its fifth day, Tuesday. This marks a promising 20% uptick from the previous day, catapulting its five-day Indian box office gross to an impressive Rs. 15 crore. While it’s a commendable pace, the film still has room to ramp up its performance.

Projected to earn between Rs. 17-18 crore by the end of its first week, the film could potentially carve its place among the Hollywood hits in India this year, provided it gains momentum in the coming weeks. The plot follows Bryan, a medical courier braving a snowy winter night to deliver crucial medical supplies to Raccoon City General Hospital. However, a sudden viral outbreak turns the city into a scene of chaos, thrusting Bryan into a perilous predicament as he fights to complete his mission.

Inspired by the iconic Resident Evil 2 video game, the film chronicles Bryan’s desperate struggle for survival amidst the looming catastrophe. Helmed by Zach Cregger, the movie boasts a talented cast including Austin Abrams, Zach Cherry, and Kali Reis, and marks the franchise’s second relaunch. Can Resident Evil sustain its momentum and join the ranks of blockbusters in India? Only time will tell.
