Netflix is sending Lindsay Lohan back to the romantic-comedy territory that helped make her a household name.

Zach Cregger’s “Resident Evil” has given Sony’s long-running horror franchise its biggest opening yet. The new adaptation earned $60 million in North America over its debut weekend and another $48.3 million internationally, bringing its worldwide opening to $108.3 million. The domestic figure sets a new franchise record and gives Cregger his biggest opening after the $43.5 million debut of 2025’s “Weapons.”

Lili Reinhart is treating “The Love Hypothesis” press tour like a trip through the golden age of the romantic comedy.
