12 Huge Movies That IT Destroyed At The Box Office

11. The Exorcist

Box Office: $441.3 million

The Exorcist's reputation as arguably the most terrifying and brilliant horror film of all time has endured over almost 50 years, and with damn good reason.

Incredibly, William Friedkin's masterpiece grossed an insane $441.3 million at the box office...and that's in 1973 dollars.

Adjusted for 2017 inflation, the film would've grossed $1.862 billion today, not merely a ridiculous number for a horror film but out of reach of pretty much every filmmaker not named James Cameron.

$441.3 million is still a stunning figure for a horror film these days, and while inflation can't simply be forgotten, the fact that most modern horrors come nowhere close to that figure proves just how significant It's $600+ million current total truly is.

Though It surely won't endure in the same iconic way as The Exorcist has, the film's nevertheless going to be scaring people for years and probably even decades to come.
