Zach Cregger’s ‘Resident Evil’ Grossed More in Its Opening Weekend Than the First Film Made in Its Entire Run

The new film from the "Weapons" and "Barbarian" director opens to $108.3 million, making him one of Hollywood's biggest hitmakers.

Director Zach Cregger has clarified that there will not be a "Cregger cut" of the film Resident Evil, as fans have been begging for a version with more of the trimmed jokes. The live-action adaptation has received mixed reactions, with some praising its surprisingly light-hearted tone while others wish Cregger had removed even more of the humor.

Despite the debates surrounding the film's comedic elements, Cregger maintains that the final version is the intended "Cregger cut," prioritizing the horror aspect of the film over the jokes.
