The latest entry in the popular horror universe, The Conjuring: Last Rites, has now completed eight weeks in theaters, and its box office performance has far exceeded early expectations. Not only is it the highest-grossing horror film of 2025, but it has also become the second-highest-grossing horror movie of all time. With its current worldwide total standing at $489.8 million, the overall franchise has now crossed a massive $2.8 billion in global earnings.
The Conjuring: Last Rites has already surpassed the original and also the lowest-earning film in the Shrek franchise, which made $489 million worldwide back in 2001 (Box Office Mojo), and is now just behind the 2017 blockbuster War for the Planet of the Apes ($490.7 million). And now, the horror blockbuster is closing in on a popular 1990s disaster film backed by Steven Spielberg. We’re talking about the 1996 film Twister. Here’s how much The Conjuring: Last Rites needs to earn more to outgross it at the global box office.
