Tracking This Year’s Highest-Rated Films: A Guide to 2026’s Critical Consensus

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

A new Resident Evil film is among the 2026 releases drawing critical attention this year, as outlets continue to track and rank the year’s best-reviewed movies by aggregate critic scores.

The film, directed by Zach Cregger and written by Cregger alongside Shay Hatten, is the eighth live-action film in Capcom’s video game adaptation franchise. It features Austin Abrams playing a medical courier caught in a creature outbreak in Raccoon City, with Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, and Paul Walter Hauser in supporting roles. Cregger’s recent track record, including his horror feature "Weapons," has made his projects a point of interest for critics tracking the genre.

The film appears alongside a wider slate of 2026 titles that reviewers and aggregators have highlighted this year, including "Godzilla Minus Zero," "Wild Horse Nine," and "Club Kid," each carrying critic scores in the 90s on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer. Other titles cited elsewhere this year as among 2026’s best-reviewed include "Project Hail Mary," "Obsession," and "The Sheep Detectives," each also scoring in the mid-90s with critics and audiences alike.

critic aggregator rankings on the Tomatometer are refreshed throughout the year as new reviews arrive as new releases are reviewed and aggregated, meaning a title’s position reflects the state of critical response at the time of publication rather than a fixed, final score.

Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see where Cregger’s Resident Evil lands on the Tomatometer once wide critical reviews are in — a reboot of this franchise carries built-in audience interest, but also built-in skepticism given the series’ uneven critical history.

Ramayana Eyes Hong Kong Screens as Worldwide Numbers Keep Climbing

Studio CarryOnHarry Entertainment Desk | 8 November 2026

Ranbir Kapoor’s Epic Myth Crosses Borders

Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological blockbuster Ramayana: Rise of a Legend is spreading its wings further east, with an official Hong Kong release confirmed for 12 November 2026. The film will screen in its original Hindi language, with Chinese and English subtitles catering to local audiences — a bold multilingual move that underlines the production’s serious international ambitions.

The announcement arrives on the heels of a stunning worldwide opening weekend, with the Ranbir Kapoor-led epic reportedly crossing ₹384 crore globally within just three days of release. Tracking closely to Bollywood’s top stories this week, the film has already emerged as one of the highest-grossing Hindi openings in recent memory.

Star-Studded Cast Driving Global Appeal

The film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram alongside Yash in a reportedly pivotal role, with Sai Pallavi rounding out the leading cast. Director Nitesh Tiwari, best known for Dangal, has translated one of Hinduism’s most beloved epics into a sweeping cinematic spectacle that has clearly resonated well beyond the Indian subcontinent.

Ticket bookings for the Hong Kong screenings are already underway, signalling strong anticipation from the city’s South Asian diaspora as well as local cinephiles drawn in by the scale of the production.

Worldwide Numbers Tell Their Own Story

A Box Office Juggernaut in the Making

By Day 3, global receipts had already surged past ₹384 crore — a figure that puts Ramayana firmly in the conversation for India’s biggest international openers ever. Industry insiders are now eyeing the ₹500 crore worldwide milestone as a realistic near-term target.

Day 2 India collection alone crossed ₹100 crore
Worldwide box office near $40 million (approx.) by end of Day 3
Hong Kong release date confirmed: 12 November 2026
Screening format: Hindi audio with Chinese and English subtitles

International Expansion Strategy

Hong Kong joins a growing list of international markets where the film has opened, reflecting a strategic push to position Bollywood epics as genuinely global theatrical events. For broader entertainment industry coverage on how Indian studios are reshaping their overseas distribution playbooks, the momentum around Ramayana provides a compelling case study.

What This Means for Bollywood’s Global Moment

The Hong Kong release, while one market among many, carries symbolic weight. It signals that Bollywood’s mythological storytelling — when backed by scale, star power, and savvy distribution — can command attention in culturally diverse markets well outside the traditional diaspora belt.

With bookings open and buzz building, all eyes now turn to whether Ramayana: Rise of a Legend can sustain its remarkable momentum through the second weekend and beyond.
