Usually, it’s the director looking to push the boundaries on a given film. With The Nun II<\/em>, it was the audience who demanded a more extreme version of the movie.<\/p>\n “People wanted more violence,” director Michael Chaves told EW, with a laugh. “There was already a good<\/em> degree of violence and gore in the movie, but people wanted more of it. So, we did a little bit of additional photography and we ramped that up. It just goes to show how audiences are always changing, evolving. Even in the earliest version, it was more [violent] than what was in your traditional Conjuring<\/em> movie. I think horror audiences have been on this journey, this horror renaissance, where they’ve seen a lot of horror movies, they’ve seen a lot of violence. It’s something they wanted more of and we gladly gave it.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Looks like the extra work paid off. The Nun 2 did an estimated <\/strong>$13M yesterday on its way to what looks to be a <\/strong>$31M-$34M opening at 3,728 theaters. These numbers do not come from Warner Bros. and they’re on the high end of projections.<\/p>\n Chaves is not unfamiliar with the genre, having directed The Conjuring: The Devil Mad<\/em>e Me Do It<\/em>, The Curse of La Llorona<\/em> and now The Nun II<\/em> in the past five years. <\/p>\n From a script by Akela Cooper, The Nun II<\/em> picks up in 1956 following the murder of a priest. The sequel follows Sister Irene (Farmiga) as she once again comes face-to-face with the demon Valak, played by Bonnie Aarons. Jonas Bloquet also reprises his role as Maurice. Reid stars with Farmiga as a new character, along with Katelyn Rose Downey as Sophie and Anna Popplewell as Marcella.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nRelated Stories<\/h3>\n
