Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, movie experts have been debating which movie will save the theaters, and it seems like the horror genre is doing the trick. Nothing compares to the experience of seeing a scary movie on the big screen, and these three films are proving to be a huge hit with moviegoers right now.

A Quiet Place Part II

The highly-anticipated sequel to A Quiet Place had a tough competition in Cruella this weekend, but that didn’t stop it from soaring to the top of the box office. Members of the Abbott family continue their journey through the silent world, so dare not scream as you watch them fight for survival against monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing.

Spiral

Despite many negative reviews, the lack of real competition made it possible for the latest film in the Saw series to top the box office when it came out. It stars Chris Rock, who tries to give the horror genre a shot in the role of a brash detective trying to solve a gruesome crime, reminiscent of the murders of Jigsaw Killer.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

The third film in the Conjuring series is coming to the theaters and HBO Max at the same time and it shows the Warrens investigating another mysterious murder. The previous two movies did pretty great on the box office, so it’s safe to expect the audience will show up for a new chapter.
