Bye-Bye To A Major Box Office Hit

The Conjuring franchise, which kicked off with director James Wan’s eponymous 2013 film, has been a phenomenal financial success for New Line Cinema.

Made on a modest budget of just $20 million, the first The Conjuring pulled in nearly $320 million worldwide, in doing so guaranteeing the production of even more related films.

Since then, the franchise and its spin-offs, such as the Annabelle and The Nun series of movies, have gone on to pull in a global gross of more than $2 billion.
