How Did The Exorcism Perform In Theaters?
The Russell Crowe Movie’s Reviews & Box Office Explained
Crowe’s previous horror movie, directorJulius Avery’sThe Pope’s Exorcist, hit theaters in April 2023, earning mixed reviews but proving more popular with audiences. In addition to performing moderately well at the box office, the film was also a major hit on streaming. Expectations were high, then, thatThe Exorcism, a movie dealing with similar subject matter with a similar title, would reach these same heights. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case.
The Pope’s Exorcist 2is now confirmedto be on the way, continuing Crowe’s journey in supernatural horror.
The Exorcism’s reviewshave generally been quite negative, and the film currently has only a 29% onRotten Tomatoes. The audience score is also low at 36%. Criticisms of the movie mostly focus on the fact that it offers up very little that’s new in a genre that has been explored to death. Instead of subverting tropes and offering up surprises,The Exorcismmostly feels fairly predictable and features many of the same issues that have plagued the genre for years.
The Exorcismhas also been a disappointment at the box office.The film has, as of writing, earned only $6.4 million worldwide, suggesting a fairly clear rejection from audiences. It’s not entirely clear what the film’s budget was, but some estimates put it as high as $22 million. It may be lower than that in actuality, but it wouldn’t be low enough for the movie to be considered anything but a major disappointment. Perhaps, however,The Exorcismwill prove more popular with viewers when it arrives on VOD next week.
