Resident Evil, directed by Zach Cregger, is performing far better than many tentpole movies. The horror reboot is edging closer to beating the box office total of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. They have a huge difference in their budgets, which will make Zach’s triumph over the Disney film more remarkable. Keep scrolling for the deets.

How much has the film collected so far at the North American box office?

The horror reboot completes six weeks at the theaters in North America. It collected just $292k across 2,148 locations in the North American box office on its 6th Thursday. It declined by 32.2% from last Thursday at the North American box office. It is outside the top 5 domestically, and in 42 days, the box office total has reached $154.9 million.

Edges closer to beating Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

According to the box office database, Resident Evil is edging closer to beating the domestic haul of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. The Pedro Pascal starrer Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu collected $177.7 million at the box office in North America [via Box Office Mojo]. Resident Evil is edging closer to beating the Star Wars movie at the North American box office soon. It is less than $25 million away from beating the Disney biggie. It will be notable because of the budget gap between these two movies. For the unversed, the horror movie was made on a $75 million budget, while the Disney biggie carries a production cost of $165 million.

Resident Evil has already surpassed Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu at the worldwide box office. Hence, beating it in home territory will complete the success story of the Zach Cregger reboot over this Disney biggie. The video game adaptation is edging closer to hitting the $400 million milestone at the worldwide box office.
