The Conjuring: With a confident, aggressive marketing effort, The Conjuring kicked off its run with $41.9 million, which is the highest opening ever for an original R-rated horror movie. From there, word-of-mouth was so strong that it managed to overcome the horror genre's front-loading problems, and consistently had weekend drops below 50 percent. The Conjuring wrapped up its domestic run with $137.4 million, which made it the top supernatural horror movie in over a decade.
