Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie got solid reviews and is making a lot of money at the box office, but where does it rank on the list of highest-grossing Resident Evil movies? Following its debut in China, it's now No. 1 overall.

Director Paul W.S. Anderson made six previous Resident Evil movies, starring his wife, Milla Jovovich, and 2016's The Final Chapter previously ranked No. 1 in terms of money at the box office. Anderson's movies did not fare very well with critics, but had dedicated fans who kept going to see them. Together, Anderson's six movies made more than $1 billion.

Cregger's Resident Evil movie now ranks No. 1 with more than $320 million worldwide. It's also Cregger's highest-grossing movie ever, surpassing Weapons ($270 million).

Below you can see a rundown of the highest-grossing live-action Resident Evil movies ever, including domestic, international, and global figures. In addition to Cregger and Anderson, director Johannes Roberts worked on the series for 2021's Welcome to Raccoon City, the lowest-performing Resident Evil live-action movie ever.

The Resident Evil movies are produced by Constantin Films, which bought the rights back in the '90s and has retained them ever since. After Welcome to Raccoon City flopped, Constantin planned to put the film franchise on ice ... until Cregger showed up with a pitch.

While Cregger has said he has ideas for another Resident Evil movie, he's done with franchise movies and is instead making an original movie, The Flood, next.
