As a die-hard fan of the chilling and captivating The Conjuring universe, I eagerly await the arrival of the final installment, The Conjuring: Last Rites. The chemistry between Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorrain Warren is one of the main reasons this franchise has thrived. Their on-screen relationship is a far cry from the controversy surrounding the real-life couple.
One of the most enduring horror series ever created is known as the “Conjuring” universe. We’ve finally caught a glimpse of the final chapter in this series. The Conjuring universe was launched with the release of the 2013 film, The Conjuring, which proved to be a massive success. This led to additional installments and spin-offs like Annabelle and The Nun, suggesting that there’s no end in sight for this dynamic franchise. A significant factor contributing to its popularity is the exceptional chemistry between actors Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, who play Ed and Lorrain Warren on screen. Contrary to the real-life Warrens, who were often controversial, their on-screen counterparts have won over audiences.
The pair is geared up to appear again in the fourth and concluding part of the series, titled The Conjuring: Last Rites, slated for release in 2025. While the specifics about this film’s plot are still under wraps, it’s been confirmed that Wilson’s signature sideburns will be back on set. An exclusive sneak peek at these sideburns can be found in the initial behind-the-scenes photos shared by a Conjuring fan account on Instagram. Here is your first glimpse of The Conjuring: Last Rites.
It’s anticipated that the fourth movie in the Conjuring series might be its last, but with long-lasting franchises, nothing is ever definitive. Warner Bros., which often relies on successful blockbusters, finds itself in a position where underperformers like the upcoming sequel to Joker, titled Folie a Deux, are causing doubts about continuing hit series such as The Conjuring. It becomes increasingly unlikely that they’d let a successful franchise like The Conjuring gather dust forever in these circumstances.
Where Does the Conjuring Go From Here?
The movie “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” had its release pushed back from 2020 due to COVID, but eventually came out as a simultaneous streaming release on HBO Max and in theaters. Despite this unconventional approach, it still earned over $200 million at the box office, which was impressive given its production budget of $39 million. This suggests that people were eager to see it in theaters even with the option to stream it. The spin-offs have also been very successful financially. For instance, “The Nun 2” was released in 2023 and made $269.5 million at the box office on a budget of $38.5 million. It’s hard not to see the franchise continuing, even if the main actors Wilson and Farmiga decide to leave.
The synopsis for The Conjuring 4 reads “paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren take on one last terrifying case involving mysterious entities they must confront,” meaning it’s heavily implied this will be the last ride for the two actors. As we’ve seen with the two Nun films and three Annabelle movies, the series is still successful outside the mainline entries. The box office success indicates audiences aren’t tired of The Conjuring universe yet, so as long as the team keeps coming up with new ideas, people will keep on checking out what the series has to offer.
Michael Chaves will once again take up directorial duties for “The Conjuring 4,” a sequel he previously helmed projects such as “The Curse of La Llarona,” “The Conjuring 3” (also known as “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It”), and “The Nun 2.” All three are part of the broader “Conjuring” cinematic universe. Anticipated release date for “The Conjuring: Last Rites” is scheduled for September 5, 2025.
