When you are nine films into a horror franchise and you generate domestic ticket sales of $161.9 million, it is not the end of the series, but just another stop on the horror express … at some point (when the creative powers work it out) there will be a next installment (you can bank on it).
So, what horror franchise film — in its ninth installment — generated $161.9 million in ticket sales this past summer? Tick tock … tick tock … director Michael Chaves’ The Conjuring: Last Rites. And it is heading home from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment with a full-spread physical media presentation on Nov. 25.
For the record, the ARR is 81 days.
The series launched in 2013 with director James Wan’s The Conjuring, followed by Annabelle, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle: Creation, The Nun, Annabelle Comes Home, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and The Nun II. An impressive run.
Arriving on Nov. 25 will be stand-alone DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD purchasing options, plus a 4K Ultra HD SteelBook selection.
Bonus features are limited to the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD SKUs. They comprise a trio of featurettes — “Last Rites: An Era Ends,” “The Conjuring: Crafting Scares” and “Michael Chaves: Believer.”
