The Nun - Over/Under - Does The Nun Push The Conjuring Franchise To be The highest Grossing Horror Franchise of all time


So The Nun Is about to be released...

Its part of The Conjuring Universe/Franchise, It Will be The Fifth film released in the series-
The Conjuring
The Conjuring 2
Annabelle
Annabelle: Creation
and Now The Nun

The Conjuring Franchise is Destined to become the highest grossing horror franchise, the only question is WHEN, With This film or the next?....

Right Now The Conjuring Franchise is sitting at #3, Behind Resident Evil and The Alien Franchise.

Currently The Conjuring Films/Franchise have made $1.203 Billion.....

Resident Evil is at $1.235 B

And Aliens At $1.501 Billion



So The Nun Would Need to Gross roughly 299 Million World Wide to take over the #1 spot....

The Last 3 Conjuring films have all Gross over 300 Million WW....

The Nun Is Tracking very well...All The Conjuring Films have been liked and well Received....

I think theres a good chance The Nun May end up being the highest grossing Film in The series Grossing over 320 M + WW, I think It Will have the Biggest Opening Weekend of All The Conjuring films .....but at the very least I think the floor is 300 M WW .....



So you think The Nun Will top 300 M and Make The Conjuring Franchise The highest Grossing Horror Franchise of all time or do you think the #1 spot will have to wait for 1 more film?

Also, Its entirely Possible The Conjuring Franchise could put this thing way out of reach over the next decade....

theres Potentially 3 or More Nun films coming...
at least 1 More Conjuring and Annabelle film each...
A Crooked Man Spinoff....

as long as they keep making good films, This Conjuring Universe could last another decade and make another 1 to 1.5 Billion...

I dunno.

I think people might reclassify the Star Wars movies as horror films after The Last Jedi.

In all seriousness though The Conjuring movies do horror properly and are fun flicks.

I think there's another Alien film in the works but I wouldn't worry about it doing well after the last two Fox pumped out.

i'll give the nun a 70% chance of breaking $300m. the trailer looked pretty good to me, & i don't think there's any sign people are burned out on these films. & it occupies the same slot roughly that 'it' did last year. that's not to say that you can extrapolate that same level of success, of course, but people may be hungry for another well-made, frightening movie in that period.

i think the series has mostly been pretty good, solidly entertaining. they slightly irk me, because i really don't like to see anything that might bolster the reputation of the warren's receiving so much attention, but i can't deny that they've all worked pretty well as horror fare. the only exception to that might be the first annabelle, which i recall being a bit of a dud.

for the most part, these films have featured directors & actors better than we'd expect for horror genre films (though i think that's become less of an issue in recent years). if they maintain their quality control, i agree that this is a series that could run & be lucrative for a good length of time.

I will see this down the road.

Well Its Official.....

The Conjuring Franchise is the highest Grossing Horror Franchise of all time...

The Nun ended being the Highest grossing entry in the franchise as I predicted, Its currently at 360 M + WW


IMO In The next 5 years, This franchise is gonna put the record out of reach....

They just announced Annebelle 3 and its going to have Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga in it....I could easily see that Having bigger success than The Nun, A 100 Million domestic and 300 Million WW+ total is almost a certainty

The Nun 2 and 3 are guaranteed

The Conjuring 3 is coming

The Crooked Man is coming...

WB has Stumbled on to a GOLD mine with this franchise, what make it So special Is All of these films in the franchise are made and can be made with Modest Budgets...

Its very rare in Hollywood you have a franchise that each film can make over 100 M domestically and 300 M WW + and those film can be made for under 40 Million....

Right Now The Conjuring Franchise is at a combined 1.550 Billion + in Box office and They've ONLY spent A Combined 104 Million dollars making all the films....

The average Budget is close to 25 Million for these films

In the next 5 years, The Conjuring Franchise is probably going to add at least another 1 Billion + in Box office!
