"Resident Evil" Opening Weekend Box Office

What this question means

One of the genuinely uncertain questions here. Resident Evil's opening weekend is priced almost flat: under $50m at 30%, $70m+ at 25%, and the four brackets between them at 12-13% each.

Compare with the Practical Magic 2 question on this board, where 77% sits in a single bucket. Same kind of question, same format, and completely different confidence.

Flat distributions on box office usually mean a release with a wide plausible range — an established property whose audience size is genuinely unclear, or a film without reliable comparisons. The crowd is not being lazy; it is declining to pretend it knows.

Note that both tails carry more weight than the middle. That is a bimodal hint: the crowd sees a real chance of either a disappointing opening or a strong one, and rather less chance of landing in between. Films tied to known franchises often behave that way — they either bring the audience or they do not.
