If you’re trying to figure out when you can actually see the new Resident Evil movie, the dates are set and already in the past as of this writing — here’s exactly when each one happened.
The premiere and theatrical release dates
Resident Evil (2026) had its premiere in Los Angeles on September 15, 2026. It then opened wide in US theaters three days later, on September 18, 2026, distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing.
📅 Quick reference:
- Premiere (Los Angeles): September 15, 2026
- US theatrical release: September 18, 2026
- Distributor: Sony Pictures Releasing
- Runtime: 95 minutes
Why there are two dates
The premiere is a single event — a red-carpet screening in Los Angeles for press, cast, and invited guests. The wide theatrical release a few days later is when the film actually became available to the general public at theaters across the US. This gap between a premiere and a public opening is standard for major studio releases.
What to check before heading out
Specific showtimes, formats (like IMAX or premium screens), and whether the film is still playing at a given theater will vary by location and by how much time has passed since the September 18 opening. For the most current showtime information, check directly with your local theater or a ticketing site.
