On the opening day, September 18, Resident Evil registered 2.6 crore with an overall average occupancy of 14.9% for almost 4,314 shows in India.

The combined total of the top domestic Friday releases in India (Vibe + Daayra) stands at 2.40 crore, meaning Zach Cregger’s horror spectacle out-grossed the mainstream Hindi releases on Day 1.

With horror and survival-thriller genres historically seeing massive jumps on Saturday nights across Indian markets, Resident Evil is well-positioned for a solid weekend total in India. If weekend momentum holds, the reboot starring Austin Abrams, Zach Cherry, and Kali Reis, is comfortably aiming for a 9 to 10 crore 3-day opening weekend in India.
