"Exorcist: Believer" Breaks Franchise Records with $30M+ Opening
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Deadline
The Exorcist: Believer, the latest installment in the horror franchise, is projected to have a strong domestic debut at the box office, with an estimated $30M-$36M opening. The film is trending well with the 18-34 demographic, Hispanic and Latino audiences, and older male viewers. Despite an ongoing actors strike affecting promotional efforts, branded horror films like The Nun 2 and Saw X have performed well recently. The big question is how The Exorcist: Believer will fare once Taylor Swift's concert film hits theaters. If it opens in the high-$20Ms, it could still be considered a record opening for the franchise.
