And now the seventh film in the connected Conjuring world has been announced, promising more highly lucrative scares for New Line.
The universe of The Conjuring just keeps expanding outward. James Wan’s ’70s-set creepfest made swimming pools of money for New Line Cinema, which made a greenlighting a sequel pretty much a no-brainer.
The studio announced yesterday, just two brief weeks after unveiling the plans for their Crooked Man movie, that our collective assumptions were correct and The Conjuring 3 will soon begin production.
When that film sold like hotcakes too, New Line moved onto an Annabelle spinoff and a scheduled sequel, a solo project for the demon nun that torments Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, and yet another spinoff for the bowler-sporting Conjuring 2 villain known as The Crooked Man.
