‘The Exorcist: Believer’ tops the box office on its opening night

It’s having supernatural success.

“The Exorcist: Believer” landed in the No. 1 spot at the box office on Friday, its opening night.

The sequel to 1973’s “The Exorcist” and the sixth film in the horror franchise raked in just over $11.9 million, according to IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.

The Post called the slasher flick — which stars Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair reprising their roles from the original — “a dud” and “awful.”

“PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie” remained in second place with close to $2.9 million in sales.

Kim Kardashian, who voiced the character Delores in the 2021 original, returned for the sequel and this time was joined by her two eldest children North and Saint West, who also lent their voices to characters.

Sci-fi action thriller “The Creator,” which was in the number three spot last week, moved down a notch to fourth with a just over $1.7 million take.

The Blind,” which centers around “Duck Dynasty’s” Phil Robertson’s early infidelities and alcohol addiction that threatened to tear his family apart, came in fifth, taking home just over $1 million.

The biographical drama, which was produced by Willie Robertson, Phil’s son, also chronicles the redemption Phil found through his Christian faith.

“The response has been phenomenal,” Willie told the Shreveport Times.

“Stories are starting to pour in of standing ovations, baptisms and post movie gatherings all over the country.”
