‘THE NUN 2’ has passed $200M worldwide on a $38M budget.
While a fairly quiet frame overall, there were some significant milestones this international box office session. To wit: New Line/Warner Bros’ The Nun II topped the $200M mark worldwide and Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan became the highest-grossing Bollywood movie ever in India, overtaking the star’s earlier 2023 movie, Pathaan.
The Nun II scared up another $20.8M in 74 offshore markets during the third frame, elevating the overseas cume to $135M and global to $204.2M. The offshore drop was a great 44% with strong holds in Holland (-14%), Italy (-30%), France (-37%), UK (-38%), Spain (-39%), Australia (-40%), Poland (-42%) and Mexico (-42%).
Surprisingly, The Nun 2 has passed the $200M mark worldwide with a low-cost budget of $38M. While Shazam! Fury of the Gods reportedly cost approx. $110M and ended its global run at $133M.
The Nun 2 initially set out with a $32.6M opening weekend, an estimate lower than the 2016 debut. However, the sequel has been the number-one film at the box office for three weeks in a row. It is undoubtedly good news for James Wan, the creator of The Conjuring franchise & producer of the sequel, especially at a time when the comic book movie genre’s saturation has raised doubts over Aquaman 2 repeating the success of the predecessor title.
Germany released this session to a terrific $3.2M on 464 screens and ranked a clear No. 1 with a nearly 50% share of the Top 5 Films. This was good for the highest opening weekend of the Conjuring Universe as well as ahead of all other comps.
