Welcome back to Fanboy Pulse, your central hub for everything dominating screens, setting box office milestones, and reshaping the pop culture multiverse! November is charging straight out of the gate with monumental theatrical records, high-stakes video game launch updates, and groundbreaking announcements from the world of international animation.
Grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s run through the major stories driving the hype cycle today.
1. Resident Evil Makes Box Office History ($400M Global Milestone)
The survival-horror genre has officially crowned a new king at the global box office. Director Zach Cregger’s visceral, high-intensity Resident Evil reboot has officially passed a staggering $400 million worldwide milestone.
Earning over $157 million domestically and $243 million across international territories, this grounded and terrifying reimagining has now outpaced 2016’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter ($312 million) to become the single highest-grossing film in the entire Resident Evil cinematic history.
Cregger’s decision to abandon hyper-stylized action in favor of claustrophobic, Raccoon City survival horror delivered exactly what longtime fans have been begging for. With remarkably steady week-over-week theatrical holds, the film sets a new high-water mark for video game adaptations in the horror space and proves that horror remains a box office powerhouse when executed with respect for the source material.
2. Box Office Breakdown: A24’s ‘You Can See Everything’ Edges Out DC’s ‘Clayface’
It was an intense, neck-and-neck battle at the weekend box office as dark, experimental cinema continues its winning streak into November. A24’s psychological thriller You Can See Everything managed to grab the #1 spot in domestic theaters, pulling in an impressive $10.6 million.
Trailing closely behind in second place was DC’s body-horror entry Clayface, which generated $10.4 million over the weekend. Clayface has now officially crossed $83 million worldwide on a tight $40 million budget, confirming that comic book fans are eager to show up for standalone, villain-led creature features that take real creative risks.
Meanwhile, Capcom’s Street Fighter live-action movie pushed past $53 million cumulative domestic gross, while LAIKA’s dark stop-motion epic Wildwood pulled in $7.49 million, rounding out a exceptionally strong fall season for high-concept genre filmmaking.
3. GTA 6 Countdown: Pre-Load Dates & Physical Edition Details Confirmed
The countdown to the most anticipated video game launch of the decade is entering its final, agonizing stretch. Rockstar Games has officially confirmed crucial pre-load logistics for Grand Theft Auto VI ahead of its launch window later this month.
Console pre-loading will officially begin on November 10 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, revealing an enormous 212 GB storage file size. Furthermore, Rockstar revealed that physical “code-in-a-box” retail editions will begin arriving at select stockists on November 12. While this boxed edition lets collectors get their physical box and redeem their installation codes early, server access will remain locked until midnight local time on the official launch day. Vice City is right around the corner, and the scale of the game is unprecedented.
4. Death Stranding Isolations: Anime Teaser & 2027 Disney+ Premiere
Hideo Kojima’s haunting, post-apocalyptic sci-fi world is officially expanding into hand-drawn animation. Kojima Productions released the very first teaser trailer for Death Stranding Isolations, an original anime series scheduled to debut globally on Disney+ in 2027.
The project features major creative firepower, with acclaimed writer Tow Ubukata (Psycho-Pass, Ghost in the Shell: Arise) confirmed as series screenwriter. Produced by E&H Production and anchored by the unsettling teaser tagline “My mom became a crater,” the show will follow a completely original narrative following two young survivors traversing the Post-Void wasteland. Utilizing classic 2D animation, the series aims to capture the strange, atmospheric isolation of Kojima’s universe in a brand-new medium.
5. Anime November Watchlist: Fall Slate Reaches Peak Hype
The Fall anime season is reaching maximum momentum as November introduces pivotal story arcs across both ongoing hits and upcoming originals.
Weekly episodes of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run and Dragon Ball Super: Beerus are currently driving massive global streaming traffic, with fans debating high-stakes fights and multiversal lore weekly. Meanwhile, anticipation is steadily building for the premiere of Fool Night—the high-concept sci-fi adaptation co-produced by animation powerhouses Sunrise and Shaft—dropping on major platforms later this month.
