Following the release of the new Resident Evil movie, Alinea Analytics estimated that the daily active user counts for all four tracked games in the series increased. Among them, Resident Evil 2 Remake rose from approximately 78,000 to around 116,000, an increase of about 48%.
The other three titles also saw increases in daily active users: Resident Evil 3 Remake grew by approximately 25%, Resident Evil 4 Remake by about 24%, and Resident Evil 9: Requiem by roughly 20%. These figures are based on statistics from third-party agencies and do not represent backend data released by the publisher.
In terms of sales, the agency compared the week following the movie's release with the previous two weeks and estimated that sales of the PS5 version of Resident Evil 2 Remake nearly doubled, while Resident Evil 4 Remake saw a growth of approximately 77%. However, the agency believes that the promotion starting on September 10 was the main driver behind the sales increase. The movie may have contributed additional incremental gains, but the changes in sales cannot be entirely attributed to the film.
The situation for Resident Evil 9: Requiem was different: daily sales of its PS5 version dropped by about 4% during the weekend of the movie's release. Alinea Analytics estimates that the game's sales have surpassed $500 million and predicts that its final sales figures may exceed those of Resident Evil 4 Remake.
