After the first wave of release-weekend excitement faded, Resident Evil showed it still had enough bite left at the Indian box office. The film added Rs 3 crore nett in its second week, pushing its total to Rs 16.83 crore nett across all versions, after a first week haul of Rs 13.83 crore that included Thursday previews.
The week 2 daily run mapped a familiar but effective pattern. Resident Evil collected Rs 40 lakh on Friday, climbed to Rs 79 lakh on Saturday and Rs 83 lakh on Sunday, then moved into weekday business with Rs 22 lakh on Monday, Rs 28 lakh on Tuesday, Rs 23 lakh on Wednesday and Rs 25 lakh on Thursday.
Week 2 Shows Weekend Support
The real strength of the second week came from the weekend lift. Saturday and Sunday gave the film the momentum to cushion the inevitable weekday slowdown, suggesting that franchise recall and genre appeal were still pulling audiences into cinemas. For a Hollywood horror-action title in India, that kind of support often makes the difference between a front-loaded run and a film that stays visible beyond opening week.
Just as importantly, the weekday numbers did not completely flatten out, which points to a core audience continuing to trickle in after the initial rush. That staying power is closely tied to what Resident Evil represents on screen: a familiar franchise name, a fresh reboot hook and a horror survival setup that has long travelled well with action fans.
The Film Behind The Box Office Run
This Resident Evil is the 2026 reboot of Capcom’s long running survival horror franchise. The film is directed by Zach Cregger and stars Austin Abrams, Paul Walter Hauser, Kali Reis, Zach Cherry and Johnno Wilson. It was produced by Constantin Film, Davis Films and TriStar Pictures, with Sony Pictures handling the release. The film reached theatres on September 18, 2026.
The story follows Bryan, a medical courier whose routine night spirals into a desperate fight for survival as a viral outbreak unleashes chaos. Built as a new big screen take on the franchise rather than a continuation of the earlier film cycle, the reboot leans into survival horror while preserving the action pulse that made the property commercially durable.
Resident Evil’s India Run In Context
The India performance now places Resident Evil in an interesting space among imported franchise titles. It may not be operating at breakout blockbuster levels, but it has avoided the kind of sharp post-opening drop that often cuts short the run of niche Hollywood releases. That gives the film a more durable theatrical profile and suggests its appeal was driven less by opening-day curiosity alone and more by a dependable fan base willing to show up through the second week.
