As we get deeper into September, one thing we will be keeping a very close eye on is how IT and IT Chapter Two continue to rank as a horror franchise in box office history. As things stand, The Conjuring Universe has made more money than any scary movie series ever, accumulating $1,915,987,771 at the global box office, and that’s probably out of reach for the Stephen King adaptations. The same is probably true for Alien, which, without adjusting for inflation, has made just north of $1.5 billion over the last 40 years. Still, Andy Muschietti’s movies are creeping towards third place, having thus far made $1,023,685,272 compared to the $1,233,214,830 made by the six Resident Evil releases.
