1up is reporting that the contract for a fourth Resident Evil movie was dependent upon the third film’s success. Extinction did well at the box office, raking in $24 million it’s first weekend.
Resident Evil movie producer Jeremy Bolt, has suggested the
next sequel might focus on another character from the series’ universe, Claire Redfield. ‘We haven’t changed our mind about working on another one,’ said Bolt. ‘We want to be respectful. I think the thing is, we’re in the middle of Death Race. We haven’t really focused on another Resident Evil. Certainly we’d like to look at it, but I wouldn’t want to say we were or weren’t doing anything at this point. It’s too early.’
