Zach Cregger's Resident Evil just became the highest-grossing film in the franchise.

A $40.6M China opening weekend pushed the reboot to about $320.2M worldwide, passing 2016's The Final Chapter ($312.2M). It also retook the global box office crown with $62.6M for the Oct 9–11 weekend, while Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning opened soft at roughly $9M worldwide.
