Box Office: ‘Annabelle Comes Home’ Kicks Off Tuesday With Solid $3.5 Million

Warner Bros. and New Line’s “Annabelle Comes Home” collected a strong $3.5 million in Tuesday night previews.


The supernatural thriller is expected to earn $30 million over its first five days in theaters .“Annabelle Comes Home” is the third “Annabelle” movie and a sequel to 2014’s “Annabelle” and the seventh entry in the Conjuring franchise. Should estimates hold, “Annabelle Comes Home” would rank on the lower end of Conjuring debuts, which have ranged from “The Nun’s” $53 million to the first “Annabelle’s” $37 million.


“Aquaman” filmmaker James Wan, who also directed multiple “Conjuring” installments, co-wrote the film with director Gary Dauberman. “Annabelle Comes Home” centers on two demonologists (played by series vets Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) who attempt to stop the possessed Annabelle doll from wreaking more havoc by secluding her in a locked room and recruiting a priest’s holy blessing. The couple’s young daughter (Mckenna Grace) becomes a target after Annabelle awakens evil spirits in the room.
