After ‘Conjuring: Last Rites,’ Warner Bros. Makes Box Office History With 7 Consecutive Movies Opening Above $40 Million

I didn't know that the Conjuring series is the highest grossing horror film franchise in history:
I've seen two or three of the series. Solid, entertaining horror movies (if a bit bland); that being said I would have never guessed they''ve grossed over $2 billion.
Highest grossing horror franchise.
My bad, I meant horror specifically. I would have thought it would be Scream, Friday the 13th or A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Those franchises seem to have better name recognition among the public (and more fans?).
I wonder if the Alien franchise is counted more in the sci-fi/thriller genre, it would make sense.
Edited my OP for clarity.
Still surprising. So many others to choose from, like Frankenstein, Dracula, Freddy, Jason, etc.
Have you ever watched them? They're straight up Christian propaganda. It isn't surprising they've done well.
I didn't notice the Christian propaganda when I watched the original and two other sequels.
The predominant branch of Christianity in my county would definitely not get involved in mystical horror movies.
Wow. This surprises me too.
