Warner Bros dominated for the fifth weekend in a row as the latest installment in the Conjuring series launched with $53.5 million in 3,876 locations. That easily marks the best debut in the series, crushing 2013’s The Conjuring, which previously held the record with $41.8 million. It’s also the second-best September debut behind Warner Bros’ It. The first four movies in Warner Bros’ Conjuring franchise — The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Conjuring 2, and Annabelle: Creation — have generated over $1.1 billion globally. Rounding out the top five with impressive holdovers is Warner Bros shark thriller The Meg and Sony’s Searching.
