The Nun opens to Conjuring franchise record with $131 million worldwide

Warner Bros. PicturesThe Nun has scared the competition away around the world and set a franchise record for The Conjuring series. Opening to $53.5 million domestically, the prequel added another $77.5 internationally for a worldwide total of $131 million. Previously the highest opening of the series came from the first Conjuring movie which opened in July of 2013 to the tune of $41.8 million, which still falls short of The Nun‘s debut when factoring in inflation adjustments. Overall The Conjuring 2 remains the highest grossing in the series with a final tally of $320 million worldwide, a feat that The Nun will almost certainly try to overcome. Directed by Corin Hardy, the film stars Demian BichirTaissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, Charlotte Hope, Ingrid Bisu, and Bonnie Aarons, reprising her Conjuring 2 role as the title character.

Crazy Rich Asians saw its first real drop off, landing in second place for the first time since its release.

Based on the acclaimed worldwide bestseller by Kevin Kwan, Crazy Rich Asians features an international cast of stars led by Constance Wu, Gemma Chan, Lisa Lu, and Awkwafina, with Ken Jeong and Michelle Yeoh. The large starring ensemble also includes Henry Golding, making his feature film debut, Sonoya Mizuno , Chris Pang, Jimmy O. Yang, comedian Ronny Chieng, Remi Hii, and Nico Santos  Jon M. Chu directed the contemporary romantic comedy.
