Resident Evil: Vendetta To Receive a Nationwide US Theatrical Release

Resident Evil fans are currently taking to the streets to celebrate the success of the 7th game and the end of the live-action film series, and now they have something else to smile about: the upcoming animated film Resident Evil: Vendetta will receive a theatrical release in the US. This is impressive when you consider that the first two CGI films went straight to DVD outside of Japan.
This news was confirmed in the upload of the trailer to Sony Pictures’ Youtube channel (although aside from a few minor changes, it’s basically the same trailer as this earlier one). No theater count was given, and while I would assume that this will only be limited release, the use of the word “nationwide” suggests otherwise.
Produced by The Grudge creator Takashi Shimizu, and directed by “Ultraman X’s” Takanori Tsujimoto, we’ll know for certain how many screens Vendetta will be playing in when it arrives this summer.
