People see the 'Resident Evil' name on something, then they buy/watch it, regardless how bad it is. That's true for the majority of the fans.
Many fans say how they hate these movies, but buy them anyways, even if they are never going to watch them, just to have something RE in their collection.
Paul WS Anderson and his gang (and Capcom also) know that. They might well as make a film about -I don't know- picking flowers or milking cows on your farm.
As long as it's called Resident Evil: The Harvest or something, fans will happily watch it.
No offense intended. But that's the way I see it.
