The Conjuring made a lot of money at the box office in 2013 ($137 million). Its prequel, Annabelle, made less, but still impressive amounts of money ($84 million). The first film’s sequel, The Conjuring 2, was off the original, but higher than the prequel ($102 million). Now, we have the prequel to the prequel, Annabelle: Creation, coming out to the cineplex. Regardless of how each film performed, they all opened over $37 million, which will be more than enough to make it the number one film of the week. The Glass Castle isn’t the type of movie that opens strong, especially with mediocre reviews so far, and Nut Job 2 will be lucky to make as much as its predecessor did on opening weekend, $19 million. Even if it tops that by a bit, it won’t be able to topple Annabelle
