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.

Why Aston Martin stock is crashing today

The post Why Aston Martin stock is crashing today appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shares of British luxury vehicle manufacturer Aston Martin (LSE: AML) fell sharply on Monday after the firm slashed its outlook for the second time this year. Notably, the stock plunged as much as 11% at one point. As of press time, AML shares were trading at £76.05, down over 6% for the day. Year-to-date, the stock has dropped roughly 30%.

Source: Google Finance The decline followed the company’s announcement that it no longer expects to meet its full-year volume guidance, projecting a mid-to-high single-digit decline in total 2025 wholesale volumes compared to last year’s 6,030 units. Third-quarter deliveries also fell 13% year-over-year to 1,430 vehicles, missing prior expectations of flat performance. Negative cash flow expectations At the same time, Aston Martin scrapped plans for positive free cash flow in the second half of the year and began an immediate review of future costs and capital expenditure. The company now expects adjusted EBIT to fall below the low end of market forecasts, with analysts estimating losses of around £110 million ($148 million). According to management, the downgrade reflects a challenging macroeconomic environment and uncertainties tied to new U.S. tariffs, China’s ultra-luxury car tax changes, and ongoing supply chain risks. Despite hopes for a stronger fourth quarter, supported by new model launches and the first 150 deliveries of its Valhalla supercar, investors reacted swiftly to the company’s grim near-term outlook.
