How Many Conjuring Movies Are There? All 10 Films, Main and Spin-Off

There are 10 Conjuring movies released in theaters so far: four main films and six spin-offs. The total was nine until The Conjuring: Last Rites opened in the US on September 5, 2025, which is why some lists still say nine. A further film, The Conjuring: First Communion, is dated for September 10, 2027 and has not been released. Every title below is a theatrical feature, and the wider franchise sits on the Conjuring movies hub.

The main films follow Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, through cases the real Warrens claimed to have investigated. The films dramatize those claims, and the families' accounts and the Warrens' conclusions are theirs, not established fact. The spin-offs follow the cursed objects and demons that the main films introduce. The Conjuring true story page covers what was claimed and documented for each case.

The main series has four films, released in 2013, 2016, 2021 and 2025, and the Warrens anchor every one. In release order they are as follows.

The Conjuring (2013), directed by James Wan, opened in the US on July 19, 2013. In 1971, Roger and Carolyn Perron (Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor) move their five daughters into a Rhode Island farmhouse where the clocks stop at the same time every night and a sealed cellar turns up. The Warrens agree to visit after Carolyn seeks them out. It cost $20 million and took about $321 million worldwide.

The Conjuring 2, also directed by James Wan, followed on June 10, 2016. It opens with the Warrens at the Amityville house in 1976, where Lorraine sees a demonic nun, then moves to a council house in Enfield, north London, in 1977. There, Peggy Hodgson (Frances O'Connor) is raising four children and her daughter Janet (Madison Wolfe) begins speaking in an old man's voice. It runs 134 minutes, the longest of the first three main films, and took about $323 million on a $40 million budget.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, directed by Michael Chaves, reached US theaters on June 4, 2021. It is set in Brookfield, Connecticut, in 1981, where the Warrens attend the exorcism of eight-year-old David Glatzel. Arne Johnson, his sister's boyfriend, challenges the demon to take him instead, and Ed suffers a heart attack as the possession passes over. The film grossed about $206 million worldwide on a $40 million budget.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025), directed by Michael Chaves, runs 136 minutes. It begins in 1964 with a cursed antique mirror and the birth of the Warrens' daughter Judy, then jumps to 1986 and the Smurl family in West Pittston, Pennsylvania. Mia Tomlinson plays the adult Judy, who is dating Tony Spera (Ben Hardy). With about $499 million worldwide on a $55 million budget, it is the highest grossing of the ten films, according to Box Office Mojo.

The six spin-offs each follow one object or demon from the main films, and they were released between 2014 and 2023.

Annabelle (2014), directed by John R. Leonetti, who was cinematographer on The Conjuring (2013), opened on October 3, 2014. In 1967 Santa Monica, medical student John Form (Ward Horton) gives his pregnant wife Mia (Annabelle Wallis) a vintage doll for the nursery. That night their neighbors are attacked by two cultists. It cost only $6.5 million and took about $258 million worldwide.

Annabelle: Creation, directed by David F. Sandberg, arrived on August 11, 2017. Dollmaker Samuel Mullins (Anthony LaPaglia) and his wife Esther (Miranda Otto) lose their daughter Bee, then take in Sister Charlotte (Stephanie Sigman) and six girls from a closed orphanage twelve years later. A locked room that was Bee's draws Janice (Talitha Eliana Bateman). It made about $307 million on a $15 million budget.

The Nun (2018), directed by Corin Hardy, opened on September 7, 2018. In 1952 the Vatican sends Father Burke (Demián Bichir) and novice Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) to a remote Romanian abbey after a nun takes her own life. Bonnie Aarons plays the demon Valak, credited as The Nun / Valak. At about $366 million worldwide, it is the highest grossing spin-off.

The Curse of La Llorona, directed by Michael Chaves, premiered at SXSW in Austin before opening on April 19, 2019. In 1973 Los Angeles, caseworker Anna Tate-Garcia (Linda Cardellini) removes two boys from their mother Patricia, who then blames a weeping spirit for what follows. It cost $9 million and grossed about $123 million worldwide, the lowest total of the ten.

Annabelle Comes Home, directed by Gary Dauberman in his directing debut, opened on June 26, 2019. The Warrens lock the doll in a blessed glass case in their artifacts room, then leave their daughter Judy (Mckenna Grace) with her babysitter Mary Ellen (Madison Iseman) overnight. It grossed about $231 million worldwide, with a budget of $30 million according to Box Office Mojo.

The Nun II, directed by Michael Chaves, opened on September 8, 2023. It is set in 1956 in Tarascon, France, four years after the first Nun film, where Sister Irene and the younger Sister Debra (Storm Reid) investigate deaths across Europe tied to Valak. It took about $270 million on a $38 million budget.

The ten films are linked by a handful of recurring faces, objects and crew, and tracing them explains why the count keeps being argued over. The demonic nun Lorraine sees at Amityville in The Conjuring 2 is played by Bonnie Aarons, who then carries the role into The Nun (2018) and The Nun II as Valak, so one set piece in 2016 became two spin-offs. Annabelle: Creation ends with a scene that places Valak at an abbey in 1952, which is the year The Nun (2018) opens, a tie-in that Sandberg has said was not his idea, according to TheWrap.

The crew overlap is just as telling. John R. Leonetti shot The Conjuring (2013) before directing Annabelle (2014), and Gary Dauberman moved from writing the Annabelle films to directing Annabelle Comes Home. Michael Chaves then directed four films in a row across the two strands: The Curse of La Llorona, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, The Nun II and Last Rites. It could be argued that the series shifted from James Wan's two-film stretch to a more factory-like rhythm at that point, though the grosses show the formula still sells.

Money tells the other half of the story. Annabelle (2014) returned nearly 40 times its $6.5 million budget, and Annabelle: Creation roughly 20 times its $15 million, which explains why the doll kept coming back. The Curse of La Llorona, which never tied itself tightly to the Warrens beyond Father Perez (Tony Amendola), cost $9 million and finished as the lowest earner of the ten. Last Rites, by contrast, cost $55 million and took in about $499 million, so the main saga returned to the top of the table in 2025.

The count stays at ten either way, but the sequence changes completely. In release order, The Conjuring (2013) is first and Last Rites is tenth. In story order, The Nun (2018) comes first, followed by Annabelle: Creation and The Nun II, and Last Rites comes last, with The Conjuring (2013) fifth. The Conjuring movies in order page sets out both lists, and the Conjuring timeline places each case by year.

Adding the per-film worldwide figures from Box Office Mojo and The Numbers gives about $2.9 billion for the ten films, which the Conjuring box office page breaks down.
