The last rituals took control of the box office

The box office had one hell on a large weekend. Thanks to the strength of the coordinated universe, the autumn cinema season began with a stir where it is clear that the tales of superhero investigators Ed and Lauren Warren are raising the attention of cinema pioneers all over the world. An example of this, “The Conjuring: Last Rites” has published a new record for the largest weekend ever for a horror movie.

It was directed by Michael Chavez (“The Conjuring: The Devil made me do so”) opened to 84 million dollars locally to go with $ 110 million internationally for a total of $ 194 million. This puts it above 2017 “IT” for the year 2017, which opened to 190 million dollars worldwide on its way to $ 700 million End all over the world. This adaptation with Stephen King’s beloved is still a higher horror movie. It goes without saying, “The last rituals” in a very good company.

To add some additional context, “The Conjuring: The Devil Me Do it” achieved $ 206 million during his entire theatrical participation, which achieved great success due to its $ 40 million budget. The fact that the latest complement is almost acquired this number on one weekend amazing. So, what happened correctly for the alleged last semester of Warns’s epic? How did Warner Bruce offer such a huge winner late in the concession round? We will go to some of the biggest reasons that make the “recent rituals” took control of the box office on the opening weekend. Let’s get into it.

The only thing that has benefited strongly from “The Conjuring: Last Rites” was the pent -up demand for a big event. August was launched with a noise when “weapons” and “Ferakier Friday” arrived, but the rest of the month was very calm, with “KPOP Demon Hunters” ($ 19.2 million) of Netflix offers a small weekend payment. Moreover, though, it was a series of smaller films and mistakes that led to a sad end of the summer season.

The weekend was especially for Labor DayWith the re -launch of the “jaws” better than three new versions Including “theft of theft”, “roses”, and “The Toxic Avenger”. The important point is that there was nothing to stand in another way of entry into the coordinated universe. There was nothing through direct competition, and we did not start from a series of large versions that reach several weeks saturating the appetite of the film’s pioneers all over the world. The fans were ready (if not frankly eager) for something worth going to the theater.

Certainly, it is a continuation of the direction we see, with the “ending” nature of the things that take over. Films that can be sold effectively tend as events that must be done to do a good job, and “coordinated” films have certainly acquired the conclusion of approval from the fans over the course of the contract and change.

When the director The “Conjurt” of James has become an unexpectedly great success in 2013Not only did a single horror privilege be launched, but it is an entire cinematic world. It can be said that it is the most successful cinematic universe outside Marvel, at least in terms of return on investment and consistency. This has led to separation such as “Annabelle” and “The Nun”, with “the last rituals” that paid the privilege until after a brand of $ 2.5 billion worldwide. It is one of the most successful horror privileges ever.

Warner Bruce has every motivation to maintain the series, however The “recent rituals” promised the masses with some kind to the story of the warriors. Does this mean that the concession will really end? Maybe not. Whether it is with more cross operations or some other continuity, there is almost no chance because the studio allows this cash cow. But in the way “Avengers: Endgame” presented some kind to the story of the stories, this movie promised something similar to the loyal fans. This made her an event more than usual for hard -line horror fans, who attended with great numbers to watch Patrick Wilson and Vera Vera Veraga do what they have in the last time.

This may seem clear in light of a global opening of nearly $ 200 million, but it carries repetition: the fans fully loves “The Conjuring”. The coordinated universe has never been cut, as ten films extended under its belt for 12 years. Even the films, we must say, were not adopted well, it was shockingly well. ((The first “Annabel” achieved $ 257 million worldwide For a small budget of $ 6 million.)

“The Nun” is still the largest of the franchise for $ 366 million. This will change soon, but the point remains the same. This movie, such as “Annabelle”, was met with very sour reviews. However, the masses appeared happily. Also because Warner Bros. It has been corrected at each turn, with “Annabelle: Creation” and “The Nun 2” as significant improvements to their ancestors.

What led to this is a privilege known to the masses that will provide goods; They will get the admission price they want. The coordinated universe has escaped from the law of decreasing returns by preserving new things, exploring new ideas, and implementing expectations. This is easier than doing, but this opening talks about volumes about the respect that this privilege has gained over the years.

In times of crisis, it seems that we can always rely on horror to restore the box office to life. “The Brecked” break the box office records in the midst of the Covid-19s. “Weapons” mainly remain the theaters standing on its feet during the entire month of August. Now, “The Conjuring: Last Rites” helped fall on the right foot after a very disappointing summer season.

Analysts were sure that the summer of 2025 would scan a brand of $ 4 billion at the local box office, however The final number was much lower than this number. However, horror remained strong throughout the entire year, as “sin” Ryan Koger (366 million dollars worldwide), “final destination lines” ($ 307 million worldwide), “weapons” ($ 251 million worldwide), and “28 years” ($ 150 million worldwide) that serve all high points this year. “The last ritual” immediately adds itself to that list.

Certainly, we have been exposed to some horses along the way, such as “M3GAN 2.0”, but the strikes are much outperforming the pies. Moreover, the huge size of visits is amazing. If things go well, the “last rituals” may take $ 500 million or more worldwide when it is said and do everything. More than each other super film can be made this year regardless of “Superman”, unless it is launched in the coming weeks. It will not always succeed, but horror still emphasizes itself as the most reliable type since the epidemic. It is not soon.

Perhaps the studio year has started equally with fluctuations such as “Mickey 17” and “The Alto Knights”, but saying that Warner Bros has recovered from that rock start will be with insulting underestimation. What Mike de Luka and Bam have ever made with the 2025 studio list as the most comfortable studio in Warner Bros. Discovery is not shy. As such, “The Conjuring: Last Rites”, made by a illuminated film to marketing and everything between them.

Warner Bruce had set a record in the box office with six consecutive films to $ 40 million Or more. This series now extends to seven films. With the success Disney cross As the best studio at the box office for 2025 so far. The studio did this with the original films, privileges, big movies and more. This film benefited from being part of the coordinated universe and always assumed its success, but no one could predict the right to succeed in this level.

CEO David Zasslav was truly criticized for many decisions he made as head of the discovery of Warner Bruce. De Luca and ABDY were launched after a series of disappointments. But it is clear that they are the right people for this position, in light of the amazing weekend. Zaslav is clearly able to get out of the right people: what they do is work, and WB was an indisputable MVP in the summer. MVP may be from autumn as well. This was the correct movie of the right studio in time.
