"The Nun," the fifth movie in "The Conjuring" series and a prequel to "The Conjuring 2," exceeded expectations over the weekend and topped the box office in its debut.

Despite poor reviews (the worst in the franchise), "The Nun" was a hit with audiences, and raked in $53.5 million over the weekend. It continues a financial win streak for the horror genre that includes "Get Out," "It," and "A Quiet Place."

But how does "The Nun" compare to the other "The Conjuring" movies?

We've ranked all five based on their domestic opening weekend box office - based on numbers from Box Office Mojo adjusted for inflation - from director James Wan's original 2013 movie to "The Nun."
