‘Resident Evil’ Officially Removed From 2,500 Theaters After Hitting Final Box Office Milestone

Having debuted on the PVOD market this past week, the new Resident Evil reboot suffered a major drop in theater count. The movie recently passed what will likely be its final global box office milestone, having broken franchise records over the course of its seven-week theatrical run. Directed by Zach Cregger and starring Austin Abrams, the movie received near-unanimous praise from critics and audiences — a rarity both for video game adaptations and the horror genre.
