7 Movies That Will Probably Happen After 2018 Successes

7. The Nun 2

The 2018 Success: The Nun

Despite opening to terrible reviews and a mixed fan response, The Nun has gone on to become the highest-grossing entry in the Conjuring franchise, beating out both Annabelle movies and both Conjuring movies. That’s an impressive feat, and with over $350 million in the bank, Warner Bros will undoubtedly be looking into another movie as we speak.

The Nun director Corin Hardy doesn’t currently have any movie-directing gigs lined up (his only upcoming project is a Gangs Of London TV series set for 2019), which could indicate he's preparing for a return to the franchise in the near future. Plus, producer James Wan has even discussed The Nun 2's story, telling THR "I do know where potentially, if The Nun works out, where The Nun 2 could lead to."

With a 2019 date set for Annabelle 3, and The Conjuring 3 expected in 2020 (and The Crooked Man somewhere in development, with no date set), 2021 seems like the most likely spot for The Nun 2 to land.
