It was back in 2013 that James Wan unleashed The Conjuring, but not even Wan himself could’ve predicted at the time just how popular the film would become. That original movie, based on the real-life case files of Ed and Lorraine Warren, scared up $320 million at the worldwide box office, making it clear that Wan had just launched yet another hit franchise.
But again, not even Wan could’ve predicted that The Conjuring Universe would end up becoming the highest grossing franchise in the history of horror cinema. Or that The Conjuring: Last Rites, the ninth installment in the saga and the fourth (and allegedly final) in the mainline series, would debut with the highest global opening weekend for any horror movie in history.
With an HBO Max television series in development, it would seem that the sky truly is the limit for this particular franchise universe. And with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga’s Ed and Lorraine Warren as the supernatural superheroes at the center of it all, it doesn’t seem out of line to call The Conjuring Universe horror’s answer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
To that point, The Conjuring: Last Rites is essentially the universe’s Endgame, effectively wrapping up the Ed and Lorraine saga and (seemingly) passing the torch to a new generation.
