The Conjuring: Last Rites has already earned $487.2 million worldwide, making it the second-highest-grossing horror movie ever. That’s huge, especially for a horror film. Big horror movies with famous casts might find it hard to beat. Fans of the series also have something to look forward to. A short film director, Rodrigue Huart, is reportedly being considered to direct a prequel to The Conjuring. People are waiting to see when this project will officially start.
Even after almost eight weeks in theaters, Last Rites is still showing in cinemas. It has already out-earned movies like Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, Angels & Demons, and Bruce Almighty. The film is getting close to breaking into the list of the Top 250 highest-grossing films of all time.
Right now, the movie has made $176.9 million in North America and $310.3 million internationally. Globally, that adds up to $487.2 million. To make it into the top 250, it needs to surpass Godzilla (2014), which earned about $525 million. That means Last Rites still needs around $37.8 million more worldwide. With its current pace, it seems unlikely it will reach that number during this theater run, even with Halloween crowds. The final box office numbers will be clear in the coming days.
The film, directed by Michael Chaves, is based on real events. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga play Ed and Lorraine Warren, the paranormal investigators. The story follows them as they face one last terrifying case. A malevolent force is haunting a family, and the Warrens must confront dark secrets and supernatural horrors. The cast also includes Mia Tomlinson, Ben Hardy, Tony Spera, and Steve Coulter in important roles.
