Prequel ‘The Conjuring: First Communion’ Sets 2027 Release Date
While The Conjuring: Last Rites closed out the main film series, sending off Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, the Conjuring Universe isn’t over.
Warner Bros. has dated prequel film The Conjuring: First Communion for a September 10, 2027, release, just in time for the Halloween season.
Plot details remain under wraps at this time, of course, but the prequel comes from director Rodrigue Huart, from a script by Richard Naing & Ian Goldberg. It’s not certain if Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga’s Ed and Lorraine Warren are coming back, though it’s not likely. Deadline notes that Warner Bros had this September date in 2027 on hold previously.
Huart’s credits include the short films Transylvanie, Trigger, and Reel, and he also directed music videos for musicians GIMS and Yuzmv. Most recently, he directed a TV series titled “Le monde magique de Jérôme Commandeur.”
There are currently nine films in The Conjuring universe — The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle: Creation, The Nun, Annabelle Comes Home, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, The Nun 2, and last year’s The Conjuring: Last Rites. Matt Donato recently ranked every single movie in the hit saga, and you can read that ranking article right here.
Franchise producer Peter Safran previously said, “There’s so much more to it that we haven’t dug into. So the truth is, I think there are really exciting ways to go with both film and television, frankly. It would be incredibly satisfying. People have been on this journey with us for a dozen years now. I think they want more.”
A Conjuring Universe television series is also in the works.
The highest grossing horror movie of the year (so far), Curry Barker’s Obsession has been absolutely dominating the box office for over a month now, with the film scaring up $334 million at the worldwide box office (so far). Obsession will likely continue to make money in theaters for several more weeks, but when will the horror hit be available to watch at home?
Obsession is being released on Digital outlets at home on Tuesday, June 30!
At the time of this article being written, Obsession has made $217 million at the U.S. box office and $334 million worldwide, and the box office momentum is showing no signs of dramatically slowing down. The word-of-mouth on Curry Barker’s horror movie has been absolutely off the charts, with the film holding strong and even gaining momentum from week-to-week.
Needless to say, it’s probably likely that an Obsession sequel won’t be too far behind. Curry Barker has an idea for one, in fact, but don’t expect Barker to jump right into Obsession 2.
Instead, Curry Barker is putting the finishing touches on his already-shot next feature Anything But Ghosts, while he also just set up a new original horror movie at Blumhouse & Universal.
He’s also attached to direct the next Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie.
In Curry Barker’s theatrical debut Obsession, after breaking the mysterious One Wish Willow to win his crush’s heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.
