Fastest movie to make $100 this year?
Has to be “The Conjuring: Last Rites.”
Today the horror film starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson hits $100 million. It’s been six days since it debuted.
It’s just a cheap horror film, but obviously “Last Rites” has fans. Not critics, who have it at 59% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not audiences, who gave it a C+ with 79%.
Never undersell cheap thrills. And these days, anything to take our minds off of rising grocery and gas prices, the threat of war, a lying White House. Wait, is it 1973 all over again?
Are these really last rites? Doubtful. Somehow, “The Conjuring” will rise again, no doubt.
