Universal's 'The Exorcist: Believer' sequel is facing criticism and potential changes following its mixed reception. The horror film, which achieved a series-best opening weekend at the box office, has fared poorly with critics. Despite topping the U.K. and Ireland box office, the critical and commercial reaction to 'Believer' could result in modifications to the planned trilogy. Universal Pictures, dedicated to finishing the trilogy, will re-evaluate the next two films. With 'Believer' projected to earn $11 million in its second outing, it falls short of the expectations that came with Universal's $400 million investment in the new 'Exorcist' trilogy.
One demonic possession movie pushed the limits of horror in 2023 much like The Exorcist did in the 1970s, but it wasn't The Exorcist: Believer. https://t.co/LkEdMYu1Ks
The Exorcist: Believer - performance by the two possessed girls was awesome. unfortunately the movie doesn't spend enough time to build up connection b/w the victims' families and exorcists, likely b/c the director went for breadth (many religions) than for depth (1 religion).
“The Exorcist: Believer” is projecting $11 million in its second outing. Universal shelled out $400 million for rights to a new “Exorcist” trilogy, but “Believer” isn’t exactly meeting the expectations that come with that kind of splashy deal. https://t.co/aVBKbqYmwt https://t.co/gQT4LD982I
