Analysis
The Odyssey's weaker domestic takings suggest that audiences favored the established Spider-Man franchise over the New adaptation of the classic epic.
Resident Evil's sub-$50 million Opening indicates that the franchise's drawing power may be diminishing, especially when competing against larger blockbusters.
The lack of a top-tier rating may also influence audience perception of the series' quality going forward.
