The Conjuring universe is bound to have more spin-offs after The Conjuring: Last Rites. As Peter Safran recently said, “there is a lot of fuel left” in the installments. Although it seemed like The Conjuring series was coming to an end in the latest film, there are still segments in The Conjuring that need to be expanded on/explored.
“I think that Last Rites shows that there is a lot of fuel left in the tank,” he said. “It was the end of that particular version of the story with Patrick and Vera and that version of The Conjuring. There’s so much more to it that we haven’t dug into,” Safran continued. “I think there are really exciting ways to go with both film and television, frankly. It would be incredibly satisfying. People have been on this journey with us for a dozen years now. I think they want more.”
Safran also highlighted the praise he recieved because of the new cast members, particularly Judy Warren and Tony Spera. “The introduction, in a real way, of Judy and Tony, I think, people love. The feedback we got was that they love those characters. So I think that there’ll be more to come,” the DC Studios Co-CEO said.
The movie, made by The Safran Company and Atomic Monster, is promoted as the final chapter of the massively successful Conjuring franchise. The cast includes Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Mia Tomlinson, Ben Hardy, and more.
When it hit theaters in September, The Conjuring: Last Rites broke records. It delivered the biggest global opening ever for a horror film, earning $84 million in the U.S. and $187 million worldwide in its first weekend. It has now made over $492 million globally, making it the highest-grossing Conjuring movie to date. The film also held a 77-day theatrical window before moving to streaming.

In this final story, Farmiga and Wilson return as real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who face a case that threatens their own family, especially their daughter, Judy.
The movie is directed by Michael Chaves and written by Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing, and David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, with a story by Johnson-McGoldrick and James Wan. Wan and Peter Safran produced the film, with several franchise veterans serving as executive producers.
