As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I’ve got to say that the latest HBO Max horror flick I’m raving about is no slouch. It’s managed to earn the 11th highest box office gross in the history of horror films, surpassing only some real heavyweights: 2017’s It, 1999’s The Sixth Sense, 2007’s I Am Legend, 2013’s World War Z, 1975’s Jaws, 2019’s It: Chapter Two, the upcoming 2024’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, 1973’s The Exorcist, 2002’s Signs, and 2012’s Prometheus. But does that automatically make it the 11th best horror movie of all time? No, because we’re talking about different categories here. However, there’s no denying its massive popularity and success. This blockbuster is none other than 2018’s The Nun, directed by Corin Hardy, who also brought us the release of The Conjuring 2. When The Nun graced our screens, it raked in a whopping $366 million, which is quite impressive considering its production budget was only $22 million.
