‘The Nun’ is the Highest Grossing Movie In the ‘Conjuring’ Universe [Box Office]
There’s another story hiding within this weekend’s box office reports. In doing some digging, we learned that The Nun, which is currently sitting at $330M worldwide, is now the highest grossing movie in The Conjuring Universe. Directed by Corin Hardy, it was made on a budget of only $22M, which means it’s a monstrous success.
James Wan‘s The Conjuring (2013) ended its box office run with $319M worldwide, while his 2016 sequel hit $320M. Wan also produced all of the spinoffs, with Annabelle pulling in $257M worldwide and its sequel Annabelle: Creation jumping to $306M. These are massive numbers for a franchise that’s built on the lower budget model, proving how important it is for studios to have reasonable budgets in order to set themselves up for success.
It’s in the realm of possibility that The Nun could land somewhere in the $340M-$350M range by the end of its full theatrical run, setting up the third Annabelle for a huge run come its July 3, 2019, release. Waiting in the wings are a planned The Crooked Man spinoff and a third Conjuring film. Wan’s Atomic Monster and New Line Cinema also have The Nurse in development. Not “officially” part of the Conjuring Universe, but produced by New Line and Atomic Monster, is The Curse of La Llorona, which will hit theaters on April 19, 2019.
Take your seats. The show is about to begin. Warner Bros. brings us some new marketing for M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap this morning, including a new poster and an original song.
Saleka Shyamalan stars in the upcoming thriller as fictional pop star Lady Raven, and today brings us a first-listen preview of the song “Release” by Saleka as Lady Raven.
Give it a listen right here and find the new official poster for Trap down below.
M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller for Warner Bros. – the sixteenth movie in his Oscar-nominated career thus far – is headed to movie theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.
In the upcoming thriller starring Josh Hartnett, “A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”
As the official trailer for Trap reveals, the pop concert is actually an elaborate trap designed to catch The Butcher, a sadistic serial killer who has been evading authorities.
Hartnett had recently described the mysterious film as “very bizarre” and “very dark.”
According to IMDb, the cast for Trap also includes Hayley Mills, Marnie McPhail, Vanessa Smythe, Saleka Shyamalan, Scott Ian MacDougall, Kristi Woods, and Cali Lorella.
Trap is the first film Shyamalan has made under his new deal with Warner Bros., which has been described as a “multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement.”
