Zach Cregger's Resident Evil film adaptation has been a major box office success, breaking the franchise's domestic opening weekend record and surpassing $100 million domestically after its second weekend—well ahead of the previous record held by 2010's Resident Evil: Afterlife. The film's popularity has spilled into gaming culture, with fans modding star Austin Abrams' character Bryan into Resident Evil 2, and reports indicating a sales boost for the RE2 and RE4 remakes on PS5. However, analyst Rhys Elliott of Alinea later clarified that the sales surge was driven primarily by discounts Capcom applied to several Resident Evil games starting September 10, ahead of the movie's release, with the film itself only producing a 'modest' additional bump once it hit theaters on September 18.
