BlumhouseAtomic Monster Hits $1.02 Billion in 2025 on Eight-Film Slate

The Conjuring: Last Rites delivered nearly half the haul, propelling the merged horror label to its first $1 billion year on $204 million in production costs.

Overview

  • The Conjuring: Last Rites grossed $494.6 million worldwide, about 48% of the combined 2025 total and the franchise’s top performer to date.
  • Universal’s Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 earned $201.8 million worldwide ($108.9 million domestic) after a theatrical-only release rather than day-and-date on Peacock.
  • Black Phone 2 reached $132.1 million worldwide and opened No. 1 domestically with $27.3 million, the group’s third-strongest debut of the year.
  • M3GAN 2.0 finished near $39 million worldwide, far below the original, with coverage noting Universal has removed the planned spin-off Soulm8te from its 2026 calendar.
  • Reported production costs for the eight releases totaled $204 million before P&A, as The Conjuring franchise’s cumulative gross rose to $2.57 billion through eight films.
