She’s back! The firstAnnabellemay not have been all that well received, but it raked in enough money at the box office to justify a sequel. But if looks like Warner Bros. doesn’t want to make the same mistake twice. The studio has just released the very first trailer forAnnabelle 2, officially titledAnnabelle: Creation, and it looks like this movie could be what fans were hoping for the first time around.
www.warnerbros.com|Warner Bros.initially teased this first trailer forAnnabelle: Creationrecently by releasing a brand new poster for the movie, which has theterrifying dollon (almost) full display. It wouldn’t be a horror movie poster unless we gently cloaked something in shadow, now would it? They also released a brief trailer tease that showcased the actual creation of this creepy doll that was first seen inThe Conjuringback in 2013. This video gives us a very good look at what directorDavid F. Sandbergwas able to do withAnnabelle 2. Here is the official synopsis forAnnabelle: Creation.
“She’s back! From New Line Cinema comesAnnabelle: Creationwith David F. Sandberg (Lights Out) helming the follow up to 2014’s hugely successful Annabelle, which scared up nearly $257 million at the worldwide box office during its run in theaters. The new film is once again being produced by Peter Safran and James Wan, who also partnered so effectively on The Conjuring movies. In Annabelle: Creation, several years after the tragic death of their little girl, a dollmaker and his wife welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home, soon becoming the target of thedollmaker’s possessed creation, Annabelle.”
Those who saw the firstAnnabellemay be a bit hesitant about watching another movie centered on the haunted doll, but there is reason to believe, even outside of this teaser, thatAnnabelle 2will be different.David F. SandbergdirectedLights Outfor Warner Bros. as well which, by most accounts, was pretty great. It also doesn’t hurt anything that the movie did very well at the box office. Speaking of box office, the only reasonAnnabelle: Creationexists in the first place is because the first movie made $256 million from just a $6.5 million reported production budget. That, despite the fact that the movie currently has a terrible 29 percent approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as a very poor 36 percent audience rating. Warner Bros. wantsThe Conjuringbrand to be in good shape moving forward, since they haveThe Conjuring 3andThe Nunboth in the works. So, it isn’t likely they would damage the brand by putting out another sub-par movie.
