Summary

Conjuring Unveils Prequel

The Conjuring: First Communion will be the franchise’s eleventh theatrical entry.
The prequel is set in the early 1950s and follows the Warrens before their 1970s fame.
Warner Bros. will release it after the April 9, 2027 debut of The Revenge of La Llorona, a five-month gap.
With eleven films, the Conjuring Universe exceeds Nightmare on Elm Street and rivals Friday the 13th, spanning from Annabelle: Creation’s 1940s-1950s setting to Last Rites’ 1980s.

History

Historical Context

In 1984 Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street opened on a $1.8 million budget and launched a franchise that eventually earned $472 million worldwide, cementing New Line Cinema as “the house that Freddy built.” That legacy-horror model now guides Warner Bros., New Line and producers Peter Safran and John Rickard as they schedule the eleventh Conjuring film for a U.S. release on September 10 2027.
