The Conjuring: Last Rites Box Office Summary
North America – $156.5m
International – $264.6m
Total – $421.1m
Critics and audiences have noted weak direction and a flimsy storyline, which has contributed to a rapid decline in interest outside North America.
Domestically, Last Rites still trails behind Michael Jordan’s Sinners ($278.5m), which was the highest-grossing horror movie earlier this year. Although it will not surpass Sinners, The Conjuring: Last Rites has overtaken the domestic earnings of another Michael Jordan film, Creed III ($156.2m). Creed III, a sports drama starring Michael Jordan and Jonathan Majors, earned $276 million worldwide, mostly from North America. While Last Rites had already surpassed Creed III in total numbers, it has only now overtaken Creed III’s domestic haul.

Looking at long-term prospects, The Conjuring: Last Rites is on track to cross the total earnings of The Exorcist ($430.8m) soon, potentially securing the third-highest-grossing spot in history. The film will remain in theatres for several more weeks, and industry estimates suggest it could reach around $450 million globally before concluding its theatrical run.
