Resident Evil film franchise (2002–2016), primarily directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich as Alice, stands as the most financially successful live-action movie series based on a video game, grossing over $1.2 billion worldwide.

Retribution plays exactly like a video game, which is both its strength and its weakness. It brings back past cast members through cloning subplots and introduces Leon S. Kennedy, Ada Wong, and Barry Burton. While the action sequences are visually stunning, the narrative functions mostly as a bridge to the finale, lacking real emotional stakes. 4. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016)
Unlike the recent reboot Welcome to Raccoon City (2021), the original film series lives in a separate continuity. It centers on (Milla Jovovich), an original character not found in the games. She begins as a security operative with amnesia and evolves into a genetically-engineered super-soldier fighting the corrupt Umbrella Corporation.
$296 million (highest of the series)
