The movie, which premiered on September 5, has already crossed $400 million worldwide, making it not only the highest-grossing film of the year but also the biggest hit in the entire Conjuring Universe.<\/p>\n<p>The Conjuring: Last Rites Box Office: Domestic Surge Pushes Weekend Numbers Higher<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Friday brought a notable surge in domestic numbers, with earnings jumping over 140%, raking in nearly $2 million from 3,083 theatres, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/release\/rl987791361\/?ref_=bo_rl_tab#tabs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>. This represents a slight drop of 9.6% in theatre count from the previous 3,413. The strong weekend response has pushed the domestic total to $156.5 million, and by the end of this weekend, it is expected to get close to $160 million. Internationally, the movie has held its ground despite stiff competition from recent releases like Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle and One Battle After Another.<\/p>\n<p>The Conjuring: Last Rites Box Office Summary<\/p>\n<p>North America \u2013 $156.5m<br \/>\nInternational \u2013 $264.6m<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Total \u2013 $421.1m<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Critics and audiences have noted weak direction and a flimsy storyline, which has contributed to a rapid decline in interest outside North America.<\/p>\n<p>Last Rites Overtakes Michael Jordan\u2019s Creed III<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Domestically, Last Rites still trails behind Michael Jordan\u2019s 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, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/reviews\/hollywood-movie-reviews\/creed-3-movie-review-michael-b-jordan-is-back-in-the-ring-to-prove-rocky-universe-can-fiercely-survive-beyond-sylvester-stallone\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Creed III<\/a> ($156.2m). Creed III, a sports drama starring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/hollywood-news\/sinners-ryan-coogler-explains-why-michael-b-jordans-movie-might-not-get-a-sequel\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Jordan<\/a> 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\u2019s domestic haul.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stay tuned to Koimoi for more box office updates and stories!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Must Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/og-box-office-day-1-early-trends-pawan-kalyan-dethrones-shah-rukh-khan-his-opening-record-after-749-days\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OG Box Office Day 1 (Early Trends): Pawan Kalyan Dethrones Shah Rukh Khan &amp; His Opening Record After 749 Days!<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Follow Us: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/koimoidotcom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/koimoi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Koimoi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Koimoi4Bollywood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">YouTube<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/s\/CBIwo7yAqUE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Google News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                                            <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Conjuring: Last Rites Tops Creed III Domestically as Global Box Office Soars Past $421 Million ( Photo&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175818,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[49,48,75,337],"class_list":["post-175817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
