Stats: -

2015: 725 – 830 (AvG: 55 - 59 million)
Verdict: - Listed horror films (ones with 5 million or more at box-office) averaged 70 – 80 million. (The hyphen is dependent on whether readers choose to count The Last Witch Hunter, Dracula Untold, or I Frankenstein, the higher number is when including them.) 2014 made more for the horror genre, and also averaged considerably higher. (2014's number is inflated by Annabelle, though, 2014 also brought two horror films that made it over 100 million, one more than 2015.)
