Part 3/8:
A revealing example of Disney's struggles is evident in the performance of "The Conjuring: The Last Rights." According to industry insiders, specifically Nancy Tarteleon, the film has surpassed $400 million in global box office revenue. These are estimated figures, but Tarteleon expects the actual totals to push it further past the $400 million mark once final data is available later this week.
What makes this even more striking is that this R-rated horror franchise installment is outperforming several Disney productions, including their live-action "Snow White" starring Rachel Ziegler and the action movie "Thunderbolts." Moreover, it is on track to eclipse Pixar's Summer 2023 investment, which garnered between $250–300 million.
