Weekend Box-Office: AVENGERS ENDGAME ENCORE Tops Domestic and Worldwide Charts

It was a busy weekend at the box office with three new releases, a huge re-release, and last week's #1 movie all fighting for supremacy. In the end, the re-release of 2019's "Avengers Endgame", subtitled "Encore", claimed the top spot, not just in the US, but also in international markets, while the hit video game adaptation "Resident Evil" had to settle for second place. The rest of the Top 5 is populated by the three new wide releases: the Brad Pitt survival thriller "Heart of the Beast", the fact-based psychological thriller "Primetime" starring Robert Pattinson, and DreamWorks' new animated feature "Forgotten Island".

RESIDENT EVIL Reboot Will Star Kaya Scodelario, Robbie Amell, Hannah John-Kamen, Neal McDonough & More

A new "Resident Evil" cinematic adventure is in the works from Constantin Film and writer-director Johannes Roberts ("47 Meters Down", "Strangers: Prey at Night"). This time it's a reboot, and the film will be an origin story that is intended to be a faithful adaptation of Capcom's classic videogame series. The plot will be set in 1998 on a fateful night in Racoon City.

Most of the main cast has been assembled, as well. We have Kaya Scodelario ("Maze Runner", "Crawl") as Claire Redfield, Hannah John-Kamen ("Ant-Man and the Wasp") as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell ("Upload") as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper ("The Umbrella Academy") as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia ("Zombieland: Double Tap") as Leon S. Kennedy, and Neal McDonough ("Yellowstone") as William Birkin.

Here's what Roberts had to say about the project:

"With this movie, I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and re-create the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today’s audiences."

Franchise producer Robert Kulzer also shared his thoughts on the film's story:

"After a dozen games, six live-action movies and hundreds of pages of fan fiction, we felt compelled to return to the year 1998, to explore the secrets hidden in the walls of the Spenser Mansion and Raccoon City.".

Sony's Screen Gems division will release the movie theatrically sometime in 2021.

New Games: RESIDENT EVIL 2 (PC, PS4, Xbox One)

<< BUY NOW >>

Video Game Description: A complete remake of the original from 1998, Resident Evil 2 revisits the nightmare of Raccoon City with modern gameplay mechanics, new and unprecedented visuals, and a photorealistic style powered by the RE Engine that was behind the stunning graphics of Resident Evil 7 biohazard. Keeping in line with the survival horror that defines Resident Evil 2, grotesque hordes of the undead are brought to life with a visceral sense of wetness and gore, reacting to attacks in real time with visible damage from every bullet and shotgun shell. True to the series’ roots, you’ll need to make every one of those shots count if you want to survive, with a new over-the-shoulder camera bringing you even closer to the shambling undead standing between you and your escape.
