Warner Bros.' "The Conjuring: Last Rites" shattered box office records with an $83 million opening weekend, surpassing the previous "Conjuring" universe record and becoming the year's top-performing horror film. The film's success exceeded expectations, driven by pent-up demand and positive word-of-mouth. Internationally, it earned $104 million, making it the highest-grossing horror film debut overseas. The film's success provides a much-needed boost to the box office after a slower summer season, setting a positive tone for the fall movie releases.
