Like many horrors before it, bad reviews didn’t scare off moviegoers from buying tickets for “The Nun II.”
The sequel to the 2018 hit, released in 3,728 theaters by Warner Bros. WBD, +2.63%, topped the box office in its first weekend in North American theaters earning an estimated $32.6 million, the studio said Sunday.
“To have a horror universe is really powerful in terms of the revenue generating potential,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. “It’s a great bet that Warners made on the horror moviegoing experience never waning.” Third place went to another new movie: The third installment of Nia Vardalos’s “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” which arrives 21 years after the first film became a massive sleeper hit earning some $369 million against a $5 million production budget. Released by Focus Features in 3,650 theaters, the third film earned an estimated $10 million, overwhelmingly driven by female audiences who were 25 or older .
