Part 2/10:
Historically, long-running horror franchises like Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th have seen their audiences dwindle sharply after a handful of films, with subsequent entries often underperforming and eventually bombing at the box office. The Conjuring series, however, has defied this trend. When adjusted for inflation, each new installment has maintained—or even increased—its audience over time, culminating in what’s now a lucrative, almost unstoppable franchise.
