    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The first film in a planned horror trilogy, Exorcist: Believer is getting rather poor reviews — scoring only a 28 22 20 percent average on Rotten Tomatoes.

    Universal reportedly paid a head-spinning $400 million for the rights to the franchise in 2021, and Believer needs to generate enough momentum to help launch two more sequels.

    Yet as producer Jason Blum pointed out to IndieWire in March, The Exorcist: Believer needs to generate some head-spinning box office returns.

    “The riskiest movie I have ever made for sure is not out yet,” said Blum (M3GAN, Get Out, The Black Phone), who is regarded as the most prolific and successful horror hitmaker working today.

    The film centers on Victor Fielding (Leslie Odom Jr.), whose daughter (Lidya Jewett) and her friend (Olivia Marcum) become possessed.

    Yet neither title came close to the $30 million domestic opening weekend revenue that’s predicted for Believer and was scored by The Nun 2 — which received only a 52 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
