  "summary": "Resident Evil has overtaken Weapons as Zach Cregger's highest-grossing film, with the live-action adaptation of Capcom's classic survival horror series reaching a worldwide total of $320.2 million. The film's success was driven by its premiere in China, where it earned $62.65 million in weekend four alone. Despite mixed reviews and online negativity, Resident Evil has proven to be a box office hit, earning more than its reported $75 million budget and becoming the highest-rated video game adaptation of all time. However, The Social Reckoning, a sequel to The Social Network, has been a significant disappointment, opening in seventh place with just $9 million and failing to meet expectations, even after the success of Jesse Eisenberg's original film.",
