With a current global haul of $435.7 million (via Box Office Mojo), The Conjuring: Last Rites ranks as the 11th highest-grossing title of 2025, trailing the Marvel superhero movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps in worldwide earnings. However, surpassing First Steps’ current $521.4 million total seems unlikely. Made on an estimated budget of $55 million (The Numbers), the latest Conjuring installment has already turned a profit of $298 million over its break-even figure of $137.5 million, based on the 2.5x multiplier rule.
After recently outgrossing several past hits, including Die Another Day (2002), The Exorcist (1973), and Cast Away (2000), Last Rites has also overtaken the lifetime earnings of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), the third installment in the Terminator franchise, which made $433.3 million at the worldwide box office. As the numbers show, the last Conjuring film has already earned $2.4 million more than Terminator 3.
Now, the horror hit is poised to outperform another Terminator entry: the 2015 film Terminator: Genisys. Let’s see how much more Last Rites needs to earn to surpass it at the global box office.
