It may have been seven years, but the "nun" is no longer the queen of the universe. Released in 2018, director Corinn Hardy's spin-off "Contring 2" has achieved $ 366 million worldwide and has remained the highest entry into the franchise ever since. Until now, it is. Valak is defeated.

"Conjurption: Last Ritter" is in the treasury for the last few weekendsOpening a stunning $ 194 million worldwide on the first weekend of September. This was a new global record for horror film, surpassing "IT" in 2017 ($ 190 million). At the third weekend, director Michael Chavez's "last rituals" withdrew in another $ 12.2 million home, good enough for the number three on the charts.

More importantly, the fourth solo "Conidge" film led by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, as paranormal investigators Ed and Lauren Warren continued to be very attractive abroad. He added $ 28.3 million internationally over the weekend, bringing its new global total number of several nickels shy of $ 400 million worldwide. By the end of this sentence, it will crawl over that hump. After only three weekends, she has more than the "nun" to become the undoubted champion of the universe.

What's interesting is that "The Nun" is considered one of the worst films in the franchise. Even so, demon Nunak Balak really caught the audience and it made a spin-off easy sale at the time of publication-so much that three or four or four films for conjunction universes were needed to steal the crown. 2019 "The Curse of La Lorona" ($ 123 million worldwide) remains a strange case Because it is technically linked to the larger universe, but manufacturers have said it is not an official entry.

For those who are stickers for such things, adapted for inflation, the nun would earn about $ 472 million in today's dollars, to give or take. But "the last rituals" still have a lot of gas in the tank and there should be no problem approaching $ 500 million before everyone is told and finished. So, even after adjusting the inflation, we will probably have a new champion.

In any case, it is impressive that the "nun" held the record for so long, and strange that she kept it a movie that is so poorly valued. Then, again, this franchise has a blow to convert negative into a positive. Annabelle, the first spin-off "Conjuring", made $ 257 million worldwide Against a small budget of $ 6.5 million. It was also a critically planted installment, but also allowed the universal universe, as we know how to bloom.

The "Warner Bros" course has been repaired because "Annabella: Creation" was a big improvement in his predecessor. The same can be said about "nun II". Overall, the films "Conjuring" have managed to create a very loyal audience, with the franchise earning $ 2.8 billion to date. That number could be very close to $ 3 billion by the end of the year.

From now on, "Last Ritrops" is the 12th largest film of the year globally and will soon pass "Captain America: The Brave New World" ($ 415 million) for 11 places. He has a chance to overtake "Fantastic Four: First Steps" ($ 520 million) to bring it into the top ten. These are impressive things, especially given her $ 55 million budget. The audience was really galvanizing about the idea that this is Great sending for Wilson and Farmiga as Warrens.

This does not mean that Warner Bros. will allow the franchise to die. It has already been reported that the film about "conjunction" is in work. There is also the possibility of more spin-off, Such as the film with a long discussed "crooked man". What is clear is that there is a healthy appetite for such things. This franchise is probably stronger than ever before.

"Conjuring: Last Rites" is now in cinemas.
