Resident Evil game engagement jumps 50% after new film

Original: Resident Evil games engagement leapt 50% following release of Zach Cregger's movie, but analysts say real value is in brand building

Engagement with Resident Evil games rose 50% following the release of Zach Cregger's Resident Evil film, according to a GamesIndustry.biz report. Analysts cautioned that the bigger benefit is long-term brand building rather than immediate sales, as the movie introduces the franchise to new audiences and reinforces Capcom's cross-media strategy for the series.

Why now: The film's release is driving renewed attention to the Resident Evil games, and analysts are weighing its commercial value against its brand impact.
