“The Nun” Headed For Franchise Best Opening


The upcoming “The Conjuring” spin-off film “The Nun” is expected to open to an estimated $36-45 million in its wide release this Friday.

The first film of the fall season, the title could very well top the $42 million opening of the original 2013 “The Conjuring” which remains the franchise’s best. Advance ticket sales are already reportedly well ahead of both “Annabelle: Creation” and “The Conjuring 2”.

The Corin Hardy-directed film won’t come close to matching the earth-shattering $123 million opening of “IT” which opened this weekend last year. Warners has scheduled the sequel to that film, which just finished filming today, for the same slot in 2019.

“The Nun” is also going day-and-date in many overseas territories, a different pattern to the usual staggered release plans of the franchise. The only other film opening domestically this weekend is the Jennifer Garner-led action thriller “Peppermint” which is on track for a $10-13 million opening.

“The Nun” Has A Massive Box-Office Opening

Reviews were terrible, but that didn’t stop people turning out for “The Conjuring” spin-off “The Nun” which easily took the top spot at the weekend box-office with a franchise-best $53.5 million opening over the three day weekend.

The story is even better worldwide, where “The Nun” launched simultaneously with the domestic release – something the franchise has never really done before. As a result, it pulled in an incredible $77.5 million just overseas – combined it took in a whopping $131 million worldwide debut for a film done on a tight $22 million budget.

It’s especially impressive considering that not only was the film savaged by critics, it nabbed a not so impressive C Cinemascore from audiences. The Jennifer Garner-led action film “Peppermint” also opened over the weekend to even worse reviews, but a decent $13 million in third place. The only other new wide opener was faith-based “God Bless the Broken Road” which bombed with just $1.6 million.

“Crazy Rich Asians” continues its strong reign in second place with a further $13.6 million and a domestic total of $136 million after four weeks. “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” is going from strength-to-strength with a worldwide total of $726 million so far and looks ready to soon surpass “Mission: Impossible II” domestically to become the biggest film in the franchise. The microbudget John Cho mystery thriller “Searching” held strong, falling just 25% and taking in a further $4.5 million.
