The Conjuring: Last Rites<\/a>\u201d is expected to open with around $50 million this weekend. However, some estimates are a little higher at $55 million, while Warner Bros. is playing it more safe with a $35 million projection.<\/p>\n\n\tThe final \u201cConjuring\u201d movie is hoping to go out with a bang and earn the highest opening of the series. The 2013 original horror, which introduced franchise stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, holds the record with its $41.9 million opening; it made $3.3 million from Thursday previews. The sequel, 2016\u2019s \u201cThe Conjuring II,\u201d had $3.4 million in previews on its way to a $40.4 million launch. The most recent entry, \u201cThe Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It,\u201d launched in 2021 simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max amid the pandemic; it scared up $65.6\u00a0million total in North America during its run while many theaters were shuttered.<\/p>\n
\n\tDirector Michael Chaves returns from \u201cThe Devil Made Me Do It\u201d to give the Warrens their most terrifying case yet. It follows a real-life haunting of a Pennsylvania home in 1986, where the homeowners believed a demon was terrorizing them. The movie\u2019s cast includes Mia Tomlinson, Ben Hardy, Rebecca Calder and more.<\/p>\n
\n\tAlso opening this weekend is Disney\u2019s \u201cHamilton,\u201d a taping of the Broadway hit by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It was originally supposed to hit the big screen in 2021 but arrived early on Disney+ in 2020 during the pandemic. It\u2019s expected to make $6 million to $7 million this weekend. It made $850,000 in Thursday previews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s time for one last scare.
