Capcom’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard saw 500,000 units shipped since its last reported sales, thus putting the first person horror title at 3 million units shipped worldwide since launch. That’s pretty impressive when you consider it’s been out for less than two weeks. Capcom has not confirmed sell-through numbers yet.

In a baffling turn of events, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter managed to gross $1 billion worldwide. Capcom noted that, “The Resident Evil film series boasts the all-time top box office gross of any film series based on a video game to date.”

BoxOfficeMojo noted that the actual figure was $1.2 billion and that 80 percent of revenue came from territories outside the United States. Despite being one of the higher reviewed entries in the series, the film averaged a 49 rating on Metacritic.

What’s better than returning to Raccoon City? A million things, actually, especially since it’s teeming with ruins and the undead in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. Protagonist Alice makes it look like a walk in the park though as she returns to the site of the catastrophe for one more battle.

In a new teaser trailer for the upcoming film (set to Paradise City by Guns & Roses), Alice will return to presumably beat Wesker once and for all. Oh, and to also head back into the hive at the insistence of the Red Queen, the AI program from the first film. Why? Who cares, there are tons of zombies to kill and a new BOW for Alice to go one-on-one with.

No, we’re not saying any of this makes for a great Resident Evil film. The entire franchise has actually been a prime example on how NOT to make films based on video games. But hey, for a random action film, it’s fine.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is out in January 2017.

If you haven’t had your fill of Resident Evil for the year what with the HD Remaster of the original and Resident Evil Revelations 2 out in February, then you’ll be happy to hear that Resident Evil: The Final Chapter will begin filming in August.

Well, you might not be happy especially considering the quality of the entire film franchise, but at least it’s a fair warning.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter was initially delayed due to star Milla Jovovich’s pregnancy. Posting on Facebook, Jovovich said that she is “really proud of myself for not gaining the same amount of weight that I did with our first child (75 lbs.) because I have to be ready to start filming Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in August of this year.”

The film is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson to whom Jovovich is married. This will be the last film from Anderson but will it go out with a bang? We’ll find out in the coming year.

Were you awaiting the release of Paul W.S. Anderson’s thrilling conclusion to the Resident Evil film saga, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter? So were we (no, really) but it seems that the film has run into a delay. This is due to lead actress Milla Jovovich who is pregnant with her second child. Jovovich plays Alice, the key protagonist throughout all the films.

Posting on Facebook, Jovovich stated that, “After a lot of discussion, we thought it would be in everyone’s best interest to wait till the baby is born before we set out to try and tackle a Resident Evil movie. Between the stunt work and what will become my ever-expanding belly, we didn’t think pregnancy and zombie killing are the best combo! Lol! I imagine the only thing I’ll be killing in the near future is an endless supply of cupcakes. Yikes…”
