Last Rites’ Record Box Office Makes No Sense

The Conjuring Last Rites

WB

The Conjuring: Last Rites “scared up,” as box office lingo says, one of the best opening weekends for a horror movie of all time with a $187 million global haul, nearly quadrupling its budget instantly.

Is it…actually good? Depends on who you ask, and while critics say one thing, its audience members who have the final say, and I think that’s a story worth laying out. I have sorted the Conjuring Universe, which includes two sets of spin-off films, into the top-rated ones, and as it turned out, with a tiebreaker, Last Rites is the lowest ranked one. But it’s about to be the most profitable in a short period of time. Here’s the list.

  • The Conjuring – 86% critic score, 83% audience score
  • The Conjuring 2 – 80% critic score, 82% audience score
  • Anabelle: Creation – 70% critic score, 68% audience score
  • Anabelle Comes Home – 64% critic score, 70% audience score
  • The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It – 56% critic score, 83% audience score
  • The Conjuring: Last Rites – 56% critic score, 79% audience score
  • The Nun II – 51% critic score, 72% audience score
  • Annabelle – 28% critic score, 35% audience score
  • The Nun – 24% critic score, 35% audience score

Some interesting things to note here is that while the first installments of The Nun and Annabelle were disasters with both critics and audiences, their sequels mostly got their act together and produced better films. The other story is that despite a wide range of critic scores with a 30% difference between them, audience scores for all Conjuring movies is between a 79% and an 83%

The Conjuring Last Rites

WB

Now, let’s do box office, leaving out Last Rites as it’s only getting started. This is wild:

  • The Nun – $366 million
  • The Conjuring 2 – $322 million
  • The Conjuring – $320 million
  • Anabelle: Creation – $306 million
  • The Nun II – $261 million
  • Annabelle – $257 million
  • Anabelle Comes Home – $231 million
  • The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It – $206 million

Wait, what? This list is bizarre. You’re telling me that of all the movies in The Conjuring universe the worst one, The Nun, is the highest earning? That’s weird in the first place, but secondly, The lowest-earning Conjuring movie, the one before this, The Devil Made Me Do It, with identical critic and audience scores, is only $20 million above just the opening weekend of The Conjuring: Last Rites. Now, Last Rites seems like it will probably easily sail to $400 million or more, and if it does, it will be in the top 10 highest-earning horror movies ever. $500 million would put it inside the top 5.

The only thing I can think of here is that there’s some sort of “Avengers: Endgame” effect going on here, where Last Rites is pitched as the final end of The Conjuring universe that all past fans wanted to show up for, even if they’d dipped in and out of the series. I don’t actually believe this will be the last Conjuring movie, given how much it and its spin-offs earn, but that’s my best guess.

I don’t get it. I’m glad people are liking it, but I just don’t get it.

Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Is Putnam Global Technology A (PGTAX) a strong mutual fund pick right now?

The post Is Putnam Global Technology A (PGTAX) a strong mutual fund pick right now? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On the lookout for a Sector – Tech fund? Starting with Putnam Global Technology A (PGTAX – Free Report) should not be a possibility at this time. PGTAX possesses a Zacks Mutual Fund Rank of 4 (Sell), which is based on various forecasting factors like size, cost, and past performance. Objective We note that PGTAX is a Sector – Tech option, and this area is loaded with many options. Found in a wide number of industries such as semiconductors, software, internet, and networking, tech companies are everywhere. Thus, Sector – Tech mutual funds that invest in technology let investors own a stake in a notoriously volatile sector, but with a much more diversified approach.

Performance Obviously, what investors are looking for in these funds is strong performance relative to their peers. PGTAX has a 5-year annualized total return of 14.46%, and is in the middle third among its category peers.

‘Love Island Games’ Season 2 Release Schedule—When Do New Episodes Come Out?

The post ‘Love Island Games’ Season 2 Release Schedule—When Do New Episodes Come Out? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. LOVE ISLAND GAMES — Episode 201 — Pictured: Ariana Madix — (Photo by: Ben Symons/PEACOCK via Getty Images) Ben Symons/PEACOCK via Getty Images We’ve got a text! It’s time for another season of Love Island Games. With fan-favorites returning in hopes of winning the $250,000 cash prize, read on to learn more about Love Island Games Season 2, including the release schedule so you don’t miss a second of drama. Love Island Games is a spinoff in the Love Island franchise that first premiered in 2023. The show follows a similar format to the original series, but with one major twist: all contestants are returning Islanders from previous seasons of Love Island from around the world, including the USA, UK, Australia and more. Another big difference is that games take on much more importance in Love Island Games than the mothership version, with the results “determining advantages, risks, and even who stays and who goes,” according to Peacock. Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix is taking over hosting duties for Love Island Games Season 2, replacing Love Island UK star Maya Jama who hosted the first season. Iain Stirling returns as the show’s narrator, while UK alum Maura Higgins will continue to host the Saturday show Love Island: Aftersun. ForbesWho’s In The ‘Love Island Games’ Season 2 Cast? Meet The IslandersBy Monica Mercuri Jack Fowler and Justine Ndiba were named the first-ever winners of Love Island Games in 2023. Justine had previously won Love Island USA Season 2 with Caleb Corprew, while Jack was a contestant on Love Island UK Season 4. In March 2024, Fowler announced on his Instagram story that he and Justine decided to remain “just friends.” The Season 2 premiere revealed the first couples of the season: Andrea Carmona and Charlie Georgios, Andreina Santos-Marte and Tyrique Hyde,…
