The first social-media reactions from early “Resident Evil” screenings are landing overwhelmingly positive, well ahead of the film's actual release date.
Early word-of-mouth from screening audiences — as opposed to critics — tends to be one of the more reliable predictors of how a film's opening weekend will actually turn out, since it reflects how a general audience responds rather than a critical framework. Paired with the film's record-setting Rotten Tomatoes score, this stacks two independent positive signals ahead of release.
Why it matters. Strong early word-of-mouth is a real predictor of opening-weekend turnout.
