The Conjuring: Last Rites released on September 5 and continued the saga of Ed and Lorraine Warren as they faced the Smurl haunting. This ninth entry in the Conjuring Universe, directed by Michael Chaves, has added another milestone to Warner Bros.’ record-breaking run at the box office.
Box Office Numbers for The Conjuring: Last Rites
Although the film holds a 57% score on the Tomatometer, it opened with $84 million domestically and has reached $194 million worldwide, per Box Office Mojo. This opening is now the highest in the entire Conjuring franchise and has also pushed Warner Bros. further ahead with its historic box office streak.
With The Conjuring: Last Rites’ release, Warner Bros. became the first studio to deliver seven consecutive films that each earned over $40 million during their domestic debut weekends. The streak began in April 2025 with A Minecraft Movie, which itself stunned the industry with $162.7 million domestically.
List of Seven Consecutive Warner Bros. Hits
A Minecraft Movie – $162.7 million
Sinners– $48 million
Final Destination: Bloodlines – $51.6 million
Superman – $125 million
F1: The Movie – $57 million
Weapons – $43.5 million
The Conjuring: Last Rites – $84 million
Warner Bros. Strategy Behind the Success
This run shows how Warner Bros. has reshaped its approach by leaning on both established franchises and bold new releases. From a massive video game adaptation to the revival of iconic characters, and from superhero spectacle to supernatural horror, the studio has found balance between original concepts and nostalgia-driven titles.
The Conjuring: Last Rites is not only another chapter in a long-running horror universe but also part of a larger demonstration of Warner Bros.’ ability to adapt, market, and time its releases effectively. By keeping variety at the center of its strategy, the studio has secured its position at the top of the box office in 2025.
