Warner Bros. has moved “Conjuring” spinoff “The Nun” from its summer release slot closer to Halloween.
Previously scheduled for July 13 of this year, “The Nun” will now open on Sept. 7. The weekend after Labor Day is a coveted one, as it was home to “It” last year, which broke various records and went on to gross $123.4 million opening weekend.
“The Hallow” director Corin Hardy will direct the movie, written by Gary Dauberman and James Wan. “The Nun” will be produced by Wan through his Atomic Monster label and Peter Safran.
Taissa Farmiga (sister of “Conjuring” star Vera Farmiga), Demian Bichir, Charlotte Hope, Ingrid Bisu, Jonas Bloquet and Bonnie Arouns star.
