At a time when box office is more unpredictable than ever before, we can generally count on the horror to appear. It is the most famous, reliable genre out there, except for the occasional high profile flop. And "Control: Last Rituals" is as far away from flop as much as you can get. In fact, the latest entry in the long -lasting universe of the universe not only enjoyed a record debut in the box office, but is now alone as a horror movie with the greatest open weekend of all time. Yes, really.

Directed by Michael Chavez, "Last Ritrops" made $ 84 million at home to go with an stunning $ 110 million internationally For a large total of $ 194 million worldwide. Remember, for a $ 55m -registered movie, it will be a damn finite final number, let alone an open weekend. However, more importantly, this mass opening now provides the place of this movie in the Cinema History books, as it overtakes "IT" of 2017 to use the largest global boxing bow -wall so far for a horror film.

"That", for the record, opened at $ 190 million on the road to $ 700 million worldwide. Moreover, director Andy Mushetti's adaptation of Steven King's beloved novel remains the highest horror film ever globally. Needless to say, it's a great company to be, no matter how "the last rituals" are growing from this point. Interestingly, "it" was also an issue in early September, welcoming Warner Bros., just like this year's sequel "Conjuring".

However, aside from those similarities, what the latest movie "Conjuring" has succeeded is quite stunning. At that time, "it felt like it was sold as wild, taking off in the wider cultural sphere. Not to diminish anything, but it feels like" the last rituals "managed to descend to this record number without building almost as much as being made. It is purely extraordinary.

For that purpose, the fourth Solo movie "Conjulent" followed in the range of $ 40 million Homemade just two weeks ago, with those estimates growing north of $ 50 million before the release of the film. After all, however, he denied these expectations. He also did so despite reviews by critics, signaling how the general audience loved Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as paranormal investigators Ed and Lauren Warren. Chavez, for what is worth, also proved to be a great shepherd for the property, having previously directed the "conjunction: the devil made me do it" and "Nun II".

It all returns to the director The Conjuring of Jameses Van in 2013, which made $ 319 million worldwideBecoming an unexpected hit of a cut. That, in turn, paved the way for a series of spin-offs and sequels, which we now know as a universe. Through 10 films that last 12 years, none of them descended commercially. Instead, they all delivered the expectations of the audience, even if critics did not always agree. Opening for "last rituals" only cemented as a motionless truth.

With the "last rituals", the universe for the conjunction has now generated more than $ 2.5 billion to the global treasurer. He includes gross for the gross Chavez "The Curse of La Lorona", which is not a technical film for "Conjunction"Depending on who you are asking. But that's another conversation in full. Whatever, what has achieved this horror franchise is over impressive.

As for the future? This new film was invoiced as sending a variety of Wilson and Farmiga, which means their versions of Varence are retired for now. Of course, Warner Bros. is unlikely to let the franchise go to bed forever. That means we probably get more spin-off. Maybe the "distorted man" will finally happen. Maybe "Annabelle 4" and/or "Nun 3" are in the cards. For the time being, even if (against all chances) it turns out that "the last rituals" is really the end, (fictional) warriors will have to go to the top in almost every significant sense.

"Conjuring: Last Rites" is now in cinemas.
