Sony pictures delayed Wednesday that the theatrical release for the Origin movie "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City" from Sept. 3 to Nov. 24, the beginning of the Thanksgiving weekend.
The production is serving as the official origin story for the Resident Evil movie franchise based on the popular Capcom horror video games.
The movie was previously set to be released in early September, which is the same day that Disney is currently expected to open the Marvel adventure “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.”
Set in the late 1990s, the plot centered around a small group of survivors in Raccoon City, who must work together to uncover the truth behind the pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation and make it through the night.
"Welcome to Raccoon City" is written and directed by Johannes Roberts. It is produced by Robert Kulzer, James Harris, and Hartley Gorenstein.
The movie stars Kaya Scodelario, Hannah John-Kamen, Robbie Amell, Tom Hopper, Avan Jogia, Neal McDonough, and others.
