The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

James Wan has offered an update on some presently - in - growth addition to the largerConjuringuniverse . It ’s dubious that whenThe Conjuringhit theaters back in summer 2013 , anyone could have predicted that Wan ’s modestly budget horror motion-picture show would terminate up spawning its own minuscule - scale cinematic universe . Yet , that ’s precisely what happened afterThe Conjuringproved to be a massive hit that surmount all arithmetic mean . Made for only $ 20 million , The Conjuringhauled in over $ 300 million worldwide , making it one of the most profitable fright flick in late memory .

In the years since , the creepyAnnabelledoll that play a small role inThe Conjuringreceived her own spinoff , and proper sequelThe Conjuring 2proved nearly as pop with audiences as the original . This weekend , Wan ’s existence expands again , withAnnabelle : Creation , a prequel to the 2014 spinoff that is so far drawing much more favorable reviews . Next summer sees the debut of another spinoff , The Nun . That one centre on Valak , the muscular fiend that take the frame of a nun to torment devout catholic Lorraine Warren inThe conjuration 2 .

BeyondThe Nunthough , two moreConjuringuniverse installments are in diverge grade of maturation . The first isThe Conjuring 3,another direct subsequence to the adventures of married paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren ( Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga ) . The second isThe Crooked Man , yet another spinoff , this time concerning a supporting baddie inThe put forward 2that managed to slip the show for his abbreviated fourth dimension on - screen . When necessitate byEWabout the condition of those two films , Wan replied as follows :

The conjuration 3 : " We ’ve been wreak hard on conjuration 3 . Of course , that is something that I am not neglecting . So , we ’re in the thick of working on the script , and still hashing [ it ] out . We need to make certain that the handwriting is in a really good home . With how much people have bed the first two Conjurings , I do n’t desire to rush in to the third one if possible . "

The Crooked Man : " We think we have a really exciting story . What we want to do , with The Conjuring cosmos , is we want each of our little offshoots to have a very different flavor , correct ? So , for example , Annabelle is the classic sort - of haunted doll subgenre . And with The Crooked Man , I would love to push it more down somewhat of that dark fairytale , and more whimsical , subgenre . I get it on the idea that , within the Conjuring universe , each of our niggling pic all have their own flavor , so that way they do n’t feel like they ’re the same films . ”

While it was antecedently report thatWan likely wo n’t directThe conjury 3- although his wizard wouldvery much like him to- the humanity is clearly very protective over the dealership , and is n’t willing to just hasten into another subsequence to continue cashing in on the belongings ’s popularity . WithConjuring 3still in the scripting stage though , one wonder how long it ’ll terminate up being before fans get to once again check in with the Warrens .

As forThe Crooked Man , Wan ’s statement about get in a"dark fairytale"direction and making the film"more whimsical"are certain to intrigue fans , as that would most definitely plant the film quite far apart from its forerunner in theConjuringfranchise . At a sure compass point , one has to wonder just how many expansionsThe Conjuringuniverse can care before oversaturation sets in . Still , one assumes that Warner Bros. will keep pumping young entry out as long as people keep seeing them .
