The article discusses the upcoming digital and streaming release dates for the new "Resident Evil" film set to be released in theaters currently. Directed by Zach Cregger, it is part of a reboot series based on the popular video game franchise. The movie will become available digitally around mid-to-late October 2026, allowing fans to purchase or rent it online. It is expected to arrive on Netflix approximately four months after its theatrical debut, likely in January 2027, due to Sony's output deal with the streaming service.
