Even within the larger Conjuring Universe, the Nun remains especially popular.
The Big Picture After topping the domestic box office in its debut weekend, The Nun II is looking to fend off an unexpected challenge from India’s blockbuster Jawan to claim the number one spot at the global box office as well. The movie grossed an estimated $85 million in its first weekend of release; Jawan, on the other hand, is expected to deliver a four-day gross of anywhere between $60 million and $80 million, but final figures will only become clear tomorrow.
The Nun II generated a healthy $32.6 million in its domestic debut, and added $52.7 million from 70 overseas markets, for a cumulative global haul of $85 million. This marks a return to form for the very successful Conjuring Universe, which had an understandable stumble during the pandemic when Warner Bros. decided to release each film on its 2021 slate simultaneously on the Max streaming service.
But even within the larger franchise, The Nun remains particularly popular. The first film still holds the records for both the biggest debut and the biggest worldwide haul in the franchise's history. The Conjuring Universe has consistently delivered major hits, with all but one movie — The Curse of La Llorona — finishing with under $200 million worldwide. But according to director Michael Chaves’ recent comments, La Llorona isn’t a part of the franchise at all.
Can Mixed Reviews Impact 'The Nun II's Performance? The film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences; it currently sits at a “rotten” 45% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, and could only earn a disappointing C+ CinemaScore from opening day audiences, though Collider's Samantha Coley gave it a favorable B+. However, reviews rarely affect the box office for horror movies, which instead tend to have big second-weekend drops if audiences are dissatisfied.
Set in 1950s France, The Nun II features the returning Taissa Farmiga as Sister Irene, alongside Jonas Bloquet, Storm Reid, Anna Popplewell, and Bonnie Aarons as the titular Nun. The Conjuring Universe will continue with the fourth film in the central series, which was recently revealed to be titled The Conjuring: Last Rites.
