The Nun II conjures $32.6 million to top box office

Like many horrors before it, bad reviews didn’t scare off moviegoers from buying tickets for The Nun II. The sequel to the 2018 hit, released in 3,728 theaters by Warner Bros., topped the box office in its first weekend in North American theaters earning an estimated $32.6 million, the studio said Sunday.

AP’s Mark Kennedy wrote in his one star review that it’s “a movie that seems destined to pound a nail into this franchise’s undead coffin” and audiences gave it a C+ CinemaScore. But it hardly matters: Horror is perhaps the most reliably critic-proof genre, at least when it comes to opening weekend.

The Michael Graves-directed sequel starring Taissa Farmiga and Storm Reid fell far short of the debut for the first film ($53.8 million), but it’s still a solid launch. The Nun movies are part of the so-called Conjuring universe, which now has nine films, and $2.1 billion in box office, to its name. The sequel also played well internationally, picking up $52.7 million from 69 markets (Mexico being the strongest with $8.9 million) and boosting its global debut to $85.3 million.

Elliot Page, who received an Oscar nomination for his role in Juno (2007), was assigned as female at birth and came out as transgender in 2020.

The 37-year-old actor said that he was so nervous making a movie heavily reliant on improvisation, but Savage created a safe space for the entire cast to explore their characters. “It allowed us to feel free, limitless and dive into the material, and it worked,” he said.

“So much of this movie is about connections, what it means to be human, and what it means to feel seen. And I imagine those themes resonate with most people,” Page told Reuters.
