What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLet me explain why we're here. Zach Cregger's Resident Evil has reached four hundred million dollars in global ticket sales, Variety reports.

  2. Lysander QuarrieMy accountant says that's a conservative figure. He says it's closer to four hundred and ten.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWere you in the film?

  4. Lysander QuarrieI was in the building. I was in the parking lot of the building. Spiritually, it's a family project.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe film made one hundred fifty-seven point four million in North America and two hundred forty-two point six million overseas.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorChina alone gave seventy-one point four million.

  7. Lysander QuarrieChina! I'll need a bigger yacht for that.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt passed The Final Chapter, which made three hundred twelve million, to become the franchise's highest earner. What is your new project?

  9. Lysander QuarrieIt's called Quiet Please, Dad's Asleep. It's a thriller set entirely inside a recliner. We shot it in my den.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAnd the budget?

  11. Lysander QuarrieMy accountant says four hundred million. I'm told that's a little high for a recliner.

  12. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSony produced Resident Evil for seventy-five million dollars.

  13. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAnd FilmoFilia notes that ticket sales are shared with cinemas, so four hundred million is not the studio's receipts.

  14. Lysander QuarrieShared? With who?

  15. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe cinemas. They sold the tickets and presumably the popcorn.

  16. Lysander QuarrieSo my yacht is partly a popcorn machine. I want to be honest with you. I've already named it.

  17. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWhat did you name it?

  18. Lysander QuarrieFour Hundred Million. It's on the hull. The hull is also not paid for.

  19. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA lightning round. The film opened in September with sixty million domestically. Hit or miss?

  20. Lysander QuarrieHit. Metacritic gave it seventy-nine, I'm told, which is higher than my own score.

  21. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorVerdict: a genuine success, and the cinemas have asked me to say you owe them for the parking.

  22. Lysander QuarrieQuiet Please, Dad's Asleep, in theaters whenever the recliner is free. Thank you, Gloria.

  23. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMr. Quarrie, the cinemas have called. They'd like the check back, and the oversized pen.
