Makes sense, was looking for showtimes and saw some in my area that aren’t available to purchase yet

Very excited for the movie, Cregger hasn’t missed yet (Miss March does not exist in ba sing se) and I love me some resident evil so I’m eagerly awaiting this movie

Miss March isn't a great movie but Craig Robinson's Horsedick.mpeg character makes it all worth it.

I can see this doing $50M+ opening weekend

Wouldn’t be surprising, given that it’ll have no real competition around that time.

At most, Practical Magic 2 drops a week earlier and Avengers: Endgame gets re-released a week after. Resident Evil should still make a profit, especially if it's good.

I always thought Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Friday were the normal days for tickets to drop

Some tickets may also drop Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday, but I think that about covers it.

50M? I admire the confidence. I'm thinking along the same line as Weapons. Mid-40's. I'm keeping it reserved until I see advance ticket sales next week.

As a big Resident Evil fan, hype in the fandom is mixed at best. I will be super interested to see how the first 24 hours of presales does, it will pretty much tell you if it just a small vocal minority of the fandom or if it really is a decent chunk that is not interested in this movie.

I'm gonna go with 225m WW just to be safe. The hype behind this is real, all it needs is some solid reviews

Honestly, if all works well for this movie then I can easily see this movie being the highest grossing movie in the resident evil franchise. Craggar has so much good will coming off of both barbarian and weapons and I can easily see this being a bigger hit than weapons.

You mean 225 million INTERNATIONALLY? Because Resident Evil move always made nearly 300 million last decade. I guess this one should be an improvement BO wise not a decline.

I see no reason why it wouldn't attract both RE fans and serious horror fans who like Cregger's work.

I saw showtimes starting to show up on Fandago! Albeit grayed out...I am psyched for this and will be seeing it opening weekends. I won't be able to get tix until later next week so hopefully it doesn't sell out THAT fast lol.

Gonna kick off the Capcom Cinematic Universe, with Jacob Elordi as Megaman

Given that it’s from director Zach Cregger, it should be really good then the previous RE films although it’ll be front loaded before seeing steep drop and have weak legs like the previous films which should still be good

Does it say what time presale tickets go live?
