In 2018, ‘The Nun’, another spin-off from the horror universe ‘Conjuring’, was released in theaters and although the film was not exactly well received by critics and audiences, it received a 24 percent rating in the trade press and a score of 24 percent. Audience rating of 35 percent on the review aggregation platform speak clearly – the jump scare became a blockbuster. The nightmare nun was able to put more than 365 million dollars in the treasury worldwide. A sequel was only a matter of time.
Of “The nun 2The sequel opens in German cinemas today. The sequel is not only well received by the audience: 74 percent – but is also on the verge of becoming a real blockbuster. The film was released in early September in many countries, including the US, and has since grossed $168 million worldwide. Although the film falls well short of the grosses of its predecessor, with an estimated production cost of just under $38.5 million, the film is still an absolute hit.
The sinister nun also has a good chance of securing the title of highest-grossing horror film of the year. This prize is currently awarded to ‘Insidous: The Red Door’, which grossed $188.5 million. Since ‘The Nun 2’ is still releasing in a few countries, the film has a real chance of surpassing these numbers.

The latest lead-filled adventure from The Expendables is appealing again, especially when it comes to violence, but unfortunately it doesn’t make for a good film. FILMSTARTS editor Björn Becher gives his review a weak 2 out of 5 stars and says:
