For the past 15 years, director Paul W.S. Anderson and actor Milla Jovovich have somehow done the impossible: they’ve made a profitable video game movie franchise.
All told, the Resident Evil series has grossed over $900 million at the box office, making it the most successful film franchise based on a video game of all time.
Anderson isn’t looking to move very far from it though, as his next project will see him adapting another Capcom game for the big screen.
Though Resident Evil has been far more succesful outside of the U.S., perhaps Monster Hunter will be a different story.
