Writer/director Gary Dauberman's ANNABELLE COMES HOME will be creeping and crawling into your local theater this coming June. And today we have word that Box Office analysists are predicting the new entry in The Conjuring Universe is on track to snag an opening weekend of $35-45 million.

The guys over at Box Office Pro say that the "pros" for the film's success include the fact that The Conjuring universe films have earned strong box office returns, with the most recent entry (THE NUN) earning a $53.8 million opening weekend. Plus, Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return for this new entry, and horror, in general, has been booming at the box-office as of late.

"Cons" include the fact that the movie will be the third horror release in June following Blumhouse's MA and MGM's CHILD'S PLAY reboot. Plus the release's close proximity to the Fourth of July could cause issues – along with good old franchise fatigue, which is bound to set in at some point. Maybe ANNABELLE COMES HOME will be that film that tips the scales. We shall see…

Here's the official synopsis for ANNABELLE COMES HOME:

Determined to keep Annabelle from wreaking more havoc, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren bring the possessed doll to the locked artifacts room in their home, placing her “safely” behind sacred glass and enlisting a priest’s holy blessing. But an unholy night of horror awaits as Annabelle awakens the evil spirits in the room, who all set their sights on a new target—the Warrens’ ten-year-old daughter, Judy, and her friends.

Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga have signed on to appear in the new film reprising their THE CONJURING and THE CONJURING 2 roles of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren along with Mckenna Grace as their daughter Judy, Madison Iseman is her babysitter cousin and Katie Sarife (Supernatural, Girl Meets World, Youth & Consequences) as her best friend who gets wrapped up in the evil shenanigans as well. The movie is all set to wreak more havoc within your local multiplex come June 28th, 2019. How excited are YOU? Let us know below!
