LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Exorcist: Believer” spun heads and drove off all foes at the box office. But while it nearly earned back its reported budget of $30 million in just a few days, the take for “The Exorcist: Believer” was underwhelming after the two companies paid $400 million in 2021 for the rights to a new trilogy. Another horror sequel, “Saw X,” was third for Lionsgate Films, with $8.2 million, and has brought in $32.6 million after two weekends. “The Exorcist: Believer,” $27.2 million. “Saw X,” $8.2 million.

Sam Zimmerman, AMC NetworksZimmerman. AMCWant to break bread with Zimmerman, VP of programming at AMC Networks' horror destination, Shudder? One of the first original documentary projects he commissioned for Shudder was "Horror Noire," focused on Black stories and creators. Zimmerman oversees a team of creatives who acquire and develop feature films and television series. "She taught me a lot about building audiences for films and when they'll reject new discoveries," Zimmerman said.
That includes hits like “Get Out,” “The Black Phone,” “The Purge,” “Paranormal Activity,” and the rebooted “Halloween” trilogy. “Halloween Ends,” the trilogy’s final film, hits theaters and streaming this weekend. Scary low budgets, scary good results"Get Out" was one of Blumhouse's biggest commercial and critical hits. For Jason Blum, the company’s CEO and founder, making movies on low budgets is more than just about saving money. “We’re really known for low budgets because low budgets are profitable,” he told CNN Business.
