US EditionWhy The Conjuring: Last Rites’ Record Box Office Makes No Sense
The ninth film in the franchise earned $194 million globally, setting a new horror opening record and marking Warner Bros.' seventh consecutive $40 million-plus release.
- On Monday, September 8, 2025, Deadline and Variety reported The Conjuring: Last Rites opened to $194 million worldwide, the biggest opening weekend ever for a horror film, surpassing 2017's It with $190 million.
- Directed by Michael Chaves and produced by James Wan and Peter Safran, The Conjuring: Last Rites is the ninth entry and final installment featuring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga.
- Overseas, it opened to $110 million, helping drive the $194 million global total, according to Deadline and Variety.
- The result gives Warner Bros. a milestone as the first studio with seven consecutive $40 million-plus openings, and The Conjuring franchise has now crossed the $2.5 billion mark globally with a $55 million production budget making Last Rites a commercial winner.
- If momentum continues, Last Rites could take in $500 million or more worldwide, and a finish above $365 million would make it the highest-grossing horror film of the year despite mixed reviews and audience scores .
