Unfortunately, according to the critics and the audience scores, the story was not quite as interesting as Regan’s vomit from the original Exorcist.

So hate might be the aspect that gets everyone back to work. Anyway, with the expected accuracy of a Taylor Swift Travis Kelce 2nd date, here are some thoughts on the weekend box office. The Exorcist: Believer - As I've written here many times before, I'm big on taking chances, especially with the art of making movies.

They still made a lot of money here, but $30 million is $30 million, which would have helped cushion the blow of the next disappointing Exorcist film.
