Resident Evil Home Video Release Set for November 3 After $400M Box Office Run

Zach Cregger's Resident Evil reboot, which has grossed over $400 million worldwide, will be available to buy or rent digitally on November 3, according to Fandango. A physical Blu-ray release is expected later, and the film will likely stream on Netflix due to Sony's Pay-1 deal with the platform. Meanwhile, Netflix has added Paul W.S. Anderson's original Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Apocalypse to its catalog, joining other franchise entries already available. The new movie is also returning to IMAX and premium large format screens, extending its theatrical run. Cregger, who co-wrote and directed the film, acknowledged backlash from hardcore gamers but said he felt gratified by the positive reviews and box office success. He has ideas for more Resident Evil movies but plans to focus on original projects, with his next film, The Flood, starring Jennifer Lawrence. Fans eager to own the hit horror film can mark their calendars for early November.
