Part of the reason why these box office records are so interesting is because of the larger public response to The Nun.
In short, it’s made a hell of a lot of money for a project that only cost $22 million before marketing.
It was able to make a shocking $53.8 million in its first three day frame, but then notably plunged over 66 percent in week two.
At that point it was excusable to think that its box office story was mostly over, but it has hung around in the Top 10, and has a domestic/international box office ratio consistent with the other features in the franchise.
