Horror Box Office 2025: Questions & Answers
The chart's numbers in short: the #1 film, the total, the billion-dollar hits and the US & Canada share, answered from the same 139 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing horror movie in 2025?
The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) leads with $499.3M worldwide, $177.8M of it in the US & Canada. Next come Sinners (2025) at $371.6M and Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025) at $317.9M.

139 horror films released in 2025 report a worldwide gross, $2.7B in all, or $19.5M per film on average. 2024 releases took $2.6B.
How many horror movies released in 2025 made $1 billion?
None. 7 films crossed $100 million, led by The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) with $499.3M.
How is the 2025 horror box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?
Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date in 2025. The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact.
How often is the 2025 horror box office chart updated?
Grosses change while films are in theaters and whenever a new figure is reported; this chart reads the latest numbers in our database, so an older film can still move after a re-release.
