The Nun II will be No. 1 in its opening weekend, but it's still doing worse than its predecessor. The movie, which opened in theaters on September 8, is the ninth entry in the Conjuring Universe since it began with The Conjuring in 2013. It is a direct sequel to 2018's The Nun, and will feature the return of young nun Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) and her former companion Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet) as well as the demon Valak, whose preferred form is that of a terrifying nun (Bonnie Aarons).
