The Nun 2 Takes the Digital Stage Sooner Than Expected!

Summary

The Nun II, a follow-up to the 2018 horror film, will be available for digital purchase on Amazon and YouTube from October 3.

The horror film follows Sister Irene as she confronts the demonic presence of Valak, with a talented ensemble including Taissa Farmiga and Storm Reid. Following its limited theatrical release, The Nun II will soon be available for home viewing with its forthcoming digital release.

The digital release date for The Nun II has been announced. After its theater release on September 8, the film will be available for purchase on Amazon and YouTube starting on October 3. This quick turnaround of just 25 days after its theatrical debut marks one of the shortest release windows for Warner Bros. this year. The Nun II is a sequel to the 2018 religious horror film, continuing the story of Sister Irene's battle with the demon, Valak. The cast includes Taissa Farmiga, Storm Reid, and Bonnie Aarons, and it is directed by Michael Chaves, known for directing The Curse of La Llorona.

Why The Nun II’s Early VOD Release Is Surprising

The digital release of The Nun II happening so early in its theatrical run is quite unexpected. Despite this, the film has performed remarkably well in cinemas. Thus far, The Nun II has amassed a staggering $76 million in domestic box office earnings and a global total of $231 million, taking into account international ticket sales. These figures are particularly impressive given the film's modest budget of $38.5 million. Surpassing higher-budget productions like A Haunting in Venice, The Nun II managed to maintain its stronghold at the summit of the domestic box office for three consecutive weekends.

Warner Bros, known for its quick VOD releases, has followed suit with The Nun II. Despite being less commercially successful than other films, such as The Flash and Blue Beetle, which became digitally available for rental after just 32 days in theaters, The Nun II managed an even quicker turnaround. The Meg 2: The Trench, for instance, was available for digital rental a mere 21 days after its theatrical release.

Given The Nun II's relatively positive box office numbers, Warner Bros' decision to shorten its exclusive theater run may come as a surprise. However, these numbers do bode well for the film's streaming prospects. With Halloween approaching and the influx of horror films in theaters, The Nun II has the opportunity to capture those seeking thrills from the comfort of their homes. Additionally, its digital availability is a boon for those looking to binge-watch all the films within The Conjuring universe this autumn.
