Mumbai: Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil recorded a sharp rise in collections at the Indian box office on its second Saturday, earning Rs 96.95 lakh gross on Day 9 and taking its tracked India gross collection beyond the Rs 20 crore mark.
The horror reboot registered a 92.3 per cent increase over its Day 8 collection of Rs 50.42 lakh, according to TrackTollywood figures cited in the source material.
After nine days in theatres, the film’s India gross collection has reached Rs 20.59 crore.
The strong second-Saturday growth comes after the film experienced a gradual decline during the latter part of its first week. Its performance on Day 9 provided a notable boost as it entered its second weekend.
Resident Evil Day 9 collection
Resident Evil earned Rs 96.95 lakh gross in India on Day 9.
The collection represented a 92.3 per cent increase from the Rs 50.42 lakh reported on Day 8.
With the latest addition, the film’s total India-tracked gross has reached Rs 20.59 crore after nine days.
The second-Saturday rise indicates stronger audience turnout compared with Friday, although the film’s daily collections remain below the levels recorded during its opening weekend.
The performance on Sunday and the following weekdays will determine whether the film can sustain the second-weekend momentum.
Resident Evil India box office breakdown
The horror reboot opened with Rs 3.02 crore on its first day in India, following a reported premiere collection of Rs 54.17 lakh.
The film gained momentum over its opening weekend, collecting Rs 4.42 crore on Day 2 and Rs 4.38 crore on Day 3.
Collections subsequently declined to Rs 1.80 crore on Day 4 before recovering to Rs 2.16 crore on Day 5.
The film then recorded Rs 1.54 crore on Day 6 and Rs 1.25 crore on Day 7.
Its first-week India collection stood at Rs 18.58 crore.
The film entered its second week with Rs 50.42 lakh on Day 8. It then recorded a substantial rise on Saturday, with Day 9 collections reaching Rs 96.95 lakh.
The figures show that the film’s strongest period in India came during its opening weekend, while its second Saturday provided another noticeable jump in daily earnings.
Worldwide collection crosses $150 million
Resident Evil has also performed strongly in the international market.
The film has crossed the $150 million mark in worldwide box-office collections, according to the source material.
Its global performance comes ahead of its release in major markets including China and Japan.
In North America, the horror reboot is also approaching the $100 million milestone.
The additional releases in major international markets could expand its worldwide theatrical total further, although the eventual contribution from those territories will depend on audience response and release performance.
Zach Cregger brings a new Resident Evil story
Directed by Zach Cregger, the new Resident Evil film takes the franchise in a different direction while retaining its central horror and outbreak elements.
The story follows Bryan, a courier who is sent to a remote hospital to deliver a package.
His assignment takes a dangerous turn when he becomes caught in the middle of an outbreak.
Bryan is forced to fight his way through mutated creatures while attempting to survive the increasingly dangerous situation.
The remote setting and outbreak form the backdrop for the film’s survival-driven narrative.
Rather than simply focusing on conventional action, the film places its central character in an environment where escape and survival become increasingly difficult.
Cast and video game connection
Austin Abrams stars as Bryan in the horror reboot.
The cast also includes Zach Cherry, Kali Reis and Paul Walter Hauser in key roles.
The film is the latest cinematic adaptation connected to Capcom’s popular Resident Evil video game franchise.
The property has previously been adapted into a long-running series of films, making the latest release another attempt to bring the game-inspired horror world to cinema audiences.
The new film is directed by Cregger, who also brings his own approach to the franchise’s outbreak and survival themes.
Resident Evil released in four languages in India
Resident Evil was released theatrically in India on September 18, 2026.
The film was released in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, giving it access to audiences across several major language markets.
Its first-week performance helped it cross Rs 18 crore in India before the second weekend began.
The Day 9 jump subsequently pushed its tracked gross past Rs 20 crore.
The availability of dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu is also relevant to its performance across different Indian markets, where regional language releases can contribute to the overall theatrical collection.
Second weekend becomes important
The Rs 96.95 lakh collection on Day 9 gives Resident Evil a stronger start to its second Saturday.
However, maintaining the momentum will be important after the film experienced a significant drop from its opening weekend during the latter part of Week 1.
The film’s first three days generated the bulk of its initial momentum, while weekday collections subsequently settled at lower levels.
The second weekend therefore provides an opportunity for the film to add substantially to its India total before the next round of weekday declines typically seen by theatrical releases.
Its worldwide performance, meanwhile, remains considerably stronger, with the film already crossing $150 million globally.
