3 Records That ‘The Nun 2’ Has Created On Box Office
This Nun Isn’t Praying; She’s Slaying!
If you thought the chapel was full last Sunday, wait till you hear how packed cinemas were for ‘The Nun 2’! The latest scare-fest in the ever-expanding Conjuring Universe has not only invoked a litany of gasps and screams but also raked in some unholy box office figures. So what’s making everyone ditch their weekend brunch to go get haunted? Let’s find out!
Record 1: Kicking ‘The Equalizer 3’ Off Its Throne
Yes, Denzel, it’s time to step aside; there’s a new ruler in Tinseltown. ‘The Nun 2’ levitated to an opening weekend collection of $31.3 million, giving Denzel Washington’s ‘The Equalizer 3’ a run for its money. Although it didn’t break the records set by its predecessor, ‘The Nun’, which had an opening weekend of $53.8 million, it sure did outdo ‘The Equalizer 3’ which was in its second weekend. This sequel was expected to have a decent opening, but my oh my, did it exceed expectations!
Record 2: Conjuring More Than Just Scares
Here’s the juicy bit for the number crunchers out there. Not only did ‘The Nun 2’ make a holy splash in North America, but it also rocked the global box office with a celestial $85.3 million. This ranks it as the second-biggest opening for a Conjuring-universe film, right behind ‘The Nun.’ And in this corner of the horror universe, that’s saying something. It’s got the franchise’s typical old-timey setting (1956 France, to be exact), and brought back the fabulous Taissa Farmiga. Add to that its recent 45% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a heavenly leap from the original’s 24%, and we have a bona fide blockbuster on our hands.
Record 3: International Horror Ambassador
If you thought ‘The Nun 2’ was just an American obsession, think again. The film’s international market figures are nothing short of miraculous. Mexico led the global earnings, breaking pandemic records with an estimated $8.9 million. Hot on its heels were Brazil and Indonesia, each pitching in an estimated $4.4 million. Even warmer climes like Spain and Italy have reported better earnings than the usually lucrative UK/Ireland market, which seems to have opted for picnics over panic this September.
Conclusion: The Power of ‘The Nun 2’ Compels You
So, we’ve established that ‘The Nun 2’ is not just another sequel; it’s a record-breaking, globe-trotting, awe-inducing cinematic marvel. Whether you’re a horror aficionado, or a newbie trying to see what the fuss is all about, ‘The Nun 2’ serves up scares and record-breaking figures like communion wafers on a Sunday morning. While it’s still early days, if these initial figures are anything to go by, ‘The Nun 2’ isn’t just haunting theaters; it’s bewitching the box office for good!
