Following its theatrical release on September 5, 2025, The Conjuring: Last Rites didn’t earn unanimously positive reviews from critics, but that hasn’t stopped audiences from turning up in huge numbers in theaters. Its strong buzz and decent word of mouth have translated into an exceptional box office run, pushing the film to a worldwide total of $491 million to this point.
That makes it the highest-grossing horror release of 2025, even though it’s still projected to fall in need of entering this 12 months’s global top ten (per Box Office Mojo). To achieve that milestone, Last Rites would wish to surpass the $521.9 million worldwide haul of The Unbelievable 4: First Steps.
After recently surpassing the lifetime grosses of several popular past hits, including Jaws (1975), War for the Planet of the Apes (2017), and Shrek (2001), The Conjuring: Last Rites is now approaching the worldwide total of an Oscar-nominated romantic fantasy comedy-drama. That film is Pixar’s 2023 title Elemental, and here’s how way more Last Rites must earn to overtake it on the worldwide box office.
The Conjuring: Last Rites vs. Elemental – Box Office Comparison
In keeping with Box Office Mojo data, here’s how the 2 movies currently stack up at the worldwide box office:
The Conjuring: Last Rites – Box Office Summary
- Domestic: $177.4 million
- International: $313.6 million
- Worldwide: $491 million
Elemental – Box Office Summary
- Domestic: $154.4 million
- International: $342 million
- Worldwide: $496.4 million
Based on the present numbers, Last Rites needs roughly $5.4 million more worldwide to surpass the worldwide total of Elemental. Given its ongoing theatrical momentum, boosted further by the Halloween season, the film is anticipated to cross that milestone before the tip of its current box office run.
How Much Profit Has The Conjuring: Last Rites Earned So Far?
With an estimated production budget of $55 million (per The Numbers), The Conjuring: Last Rites needed roughly $137.5 million at the worldwide box office to interrupt even, based on the 2.5x multiplier rule. Now standing at $491 million worldwide, the Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson-led horror film has already generated an estimated $353.5 million in profit, positioning it amongst essentially the most financially successful horror movies of all time.
