Annabelle: Creation scares up $70 million opening at the global box office

August 13, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema unleashed the latest instalment in The Conjuring Universe this past Friday, with Annabelle: Creation pulling in a worldwide opening weekend of $71.7 million.

Domestically, Annabelle: Creation opened with $35 million, down $2 million from its predecessor back in 2014 (for further comparison, The Conjuring opened to $41.9 million in 2013, followed by The Conjuring 2 on $40.4 million last year).

International receipts added a further $36.7 million, meaning that the David F. Sandberg-helmed prequel is already in the black, having been produced on a budget of just $15 million. It also pushes The Conjuring franchise towards a combined $1 billion, with the four movies having grossed $966.9 million to date.
