The Conjuring 2 opened last week and immediately destroyed its competing movies with flying sinister colors.

James Wan Returns to Horror with The Conjuring 2; Will He be Directing a DC Movie as well?

Nobody can deny how last year's The Conjuring was such a horror masterpiece. Its director James Wan has always been best known as one of the more recent masters of horror, having pioneered the Saw franchise and also directed such hits as Insidious. Recently, Wan has shifted to the action genre, as he is directing the upcoming Fast & Furious 7. Now, James Wan has announced that he is returning to horror, with the sequel of The Conjuring.

The Conjuring Spin-off "Annabelle" set for October

Many of us might have thought that that freaky doll from all of the posters for the horror masterpiece "The Conjuring" is the main monster of the movie. Well, now that idea is coming true with a spin-off horror movie featuring that doll, entitled "Annabelle". The film is directed by John R. Leonetti (who served as a DP on The Conjuring and should be able to recreate that film’s style) and written by Gary Dauberman (the upcoming Crawlspace from the same studios). James Wan is producing alongside Peter Safran. The film stars the somewhat ironically named Annabelle Wallis (Peaky Blinders), Ward Horton, and Alfre Woodard. "Annabelle" is set for official international release this October 3, 2014. No specific release date for the Philippines has been named yet.

"Annabelle" is a stand-alone film that will be set in the same universe as "The Conjuring" but it is not the official sequel. "The Conjuring 2" will be a separate movie, and is set for release October 23, 2015.

Conjuring a Box Office Success

THE CONJURING opened this week in Philippine cinemas, and it seems that it is garnering such hype, promising strong numbers at the box office. I watched the movie on its opening day, this Wednesday; at a theater that was packed with audiences, so much so that we did not get to sit at our usual favorite spot. I was actually impressed as to how Warner Brothers Philippines seem to have played their cards with the local release of this movie. The Conjuring opened in US theaters last week of July. And from that time, with its blitzkrieg success at the US box office, there had already been the buzz and the hype that has been created. But not everybody here in the Philippines would usually care about US box office hype, or film analysis coming from American write-ups. [hit the jump to read the rest of the article]
