It’s honestly not as bad as the 37 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes (the performances are very good, especially Linda Cardellini and Raymond “Tuco from Breaking Bad” Cruz), but it’s also overly reliant on cheap jump scares and stupid characters doing stupid things. The Curse of La Llorona probably could have used the boost, too, considering the reviews. marketed the film as part of the same cinematic universe as Ed and Lorraine Warren, but for whatever reason, the Weeping Woman weeps alone. The number would be even higher if Warner Bros. The Curse of La Llorona, which was made for only $15 million, is “currently forecasting a $17+ million debut,” according to Box Office Mojo, with millions more to be made worldwide.
Both numbers will go up after this weekend, the budget by a little and the box office by a lot. The five films in the Conjuring Universe - The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle, Annabelle: Creation, and The Nun - have made a combined $1.5 billion at the box office on a collective $118.5 million budget.
