With a staggering combined worldwide earnings of over $2.6 billion, The Conjuring Universe stands as the highest-grossing horror franchise in history. Its latest installment, The Conjuring: Last Rites, is performing exceptionally well at the global box office, having already earned an impressive $402.3 million (per Box Office Mojo), making it the top-grossing horror title of 2025.
Recently, Last Rites crossed the $150 million milestone in North America and is now approaching the $250 million mark internationally. Currently ranking as the 12th highest-grossing film of the year, the horror hit trails behind the Marvel superhero movie Captain America: Brave New World, which has a $415.1 million global total.
Having already outgrossed another Marvel film, Eternals (2021), and the iconic animated blockbuster Toy Story (1995), Last Rites is now closing in on The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Brendan Fraser’s third and least-grossing installment in the Mummy trilogy. Here’s how much the Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga-led supernatural horror film still needs to earn to surpass the 2008 action-adventure at the global box office.
