Horror fans are flocking to theaters as The Conjuring: Last Rites continues its impressive box office run. The fourth installment in the Conjuring franchise has already outperformed expectations, surpassing the global earnings of fellow Warner Bros. film Weapons in just its first week of release.
Strong Domestic Debut
Released on September 5, the horror sequel raked in an impressive $104.9 million in North America during its first seven days. The film enjoyed a powerful opening weekend and maintained momentum throughout the week, making it one of the most successful horror openings of 2025 so far.
International Success
The scares aren’t limited to North America. Internationally, The Conjuring: Last Rites collected $151.4 million, bringing its worldwide total to $256.3 million after just one week. The film has struck a chord with global audiences, proving that the Conjuring brand still has massive appeal more than a decade after its debut.
Outgrossing Weapons
According to Box Office Mojo, The Conjuring: Last Rites has overtaken Zach Cregger’s Weapons, starring Josh Brolin, which has so far grossed $255.2 million worldwide. With this, the horror flick now ranks as the 15th highest-grossing film of 2025 worldwide, further cementing Warner Bros. Pictures’ dominance at the box office.
Eyeing the Top 10
While the film has made a strong start, it still has a long way to climb the year’s charts. To break into the top 10 highest-grossing films of 2025, it must surpass Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World, which currently stands at $415.1 million globally. Analysts believe the movie has potential to achieve this milestone if its strong momentum continues.
Current Ranking Among Horror Films
For now, The Conjuring: Last Rites holds the title of the third-highest-grossing horror film of 2025 worldwide. Industry trackers also expect it to surpass Final Destination: Bloodlines in the coming days, further solidifying its success.
With its chilling story and box office dominance, The Conjuring: Last Rites proves that the horror genre is very much alive — and thriving.
