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.
