What it means for weapons
Although Weapons won a place on this historic table, He will have to continue to climb in order to maintain his status of one of the 25 best horror films of all time At the end of the year. This is because the years 2025 The Conjuring: Last RitesWho was presented in first on September 5, is hot on his heels.

Our point of view on the milestone of weapons
Even if she quickly loses her status of one of the 25 most profitable horror films of all time, Weapons is always a huge blow by any metric. His box office milestone is also a huge success for an original horror film, because only five other titles in the top 25 are original, namely We,, To go out,, Divide,, A quiet placeAnd Sinners.
