The Nun 2 will take No. 1 at the box office this weekend, even though it can’t match the financial might of the original 2018 movie The Nun.
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Summary
- The Nun II is projected to be the number one movie this weekend, surpassing The Equalizer 3.
- Despite its success, The Nun II is performing worse than its predecessor, which had a higher opening and worldwide gross.
- The movie is part of the Conjuring Universe and brings back familiar characters, including young nun Sister Irene and the demon Valak.
The Nun II will be No. 1 in its opening weekend, but it’s still doing worse than its predecessor. The movie, which opened in theaters on September 8, is the ninth entry in the Conjuring Universe since it began with The Conjuring in 2013. It is a direct sequel to 2018’s The Nun, and will feature the return of young nun Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) and her former companion Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet) as well as the demon Valak, whose preferred form is that of a terrifying nun (Bonnie Aarons).
Per TheWrap, the Nun II box office is currently projected to nab an opening weekend gross of $32 million. This is enough to earn the movie the No. 1 spot this weekend, knocking last weekend’s top title The Equalizer 3 to No. 2. However, it nevertheless pales in comparison to the original The Nun, which had a $58.3 million opening on its way to a total worldwide gross of $365.5 million, which makes it the highest-grossing entry in the Conjuring Universe.
