New Line Cinema's Annabelle Kills at the Box Office, Earning More than $150 Million Worldwide October 19, 2014
BURBANK, CA - New Line Cinema's Annabelle has surpassed the $150 million mark at the worldwide box office, earning more than $166.1 million to date and counting. The announcement was made today by Dan Fellman, President, Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures and Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, President, International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.
Director John R. Leonetti's supernatural thriller, produced by Peter Safran and James Wan, enjoyed the largest opening weekend this year at the domestic box office for a horror film, at $37.1 million. The demonic doll, who first debuted in last summer's global hit The Conjuring, has currently scared up more than $74.1 million at the domestic box office.
Internationally, Annabelle has taken in just over $92 million in 51 markets, including the UK, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Australia and much of Asia, with a number of markets yet to open, including Mexico. The film set new opening records for the horror genre in Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Chile and Colombia.
In making the announcement, Fellman said, Who doesn't love a creepy doll? Annabelle is back and audiences have certainly missed her, judging by their enthusiastic welcome in theaters across the country. We're happy to have unleashed the spirit of Halloween a little early this year, and congratulate New Line and the filmmakers on reaching this impressive benchmark.
Kwan Vandenberg stated, There's an appetite for scary movies the world over and Annabelle' has really struck a chord. With several markets still to open, the film is on a strong trajectory that should continue to gain momentum as new audiences everywhere experience the thrills and chills it provides.
She terrified you in The Conjuring, but this is where it all began for Annabelle.
Capable of unspeakable evil, the actual doll exists locked up in an occult museum in Connecticut-visited only by a priest who blesses her twice a month.
New Line Cinema's supernatural thriller Annabelle begins before the evil was unleashed.
John Form has found the perfect gift for his expectant wife, Mia-a beautiful, rare vintage doll in a pure white wedding dress. But Mia's delight with Annabelle doesn't last long. On one horrific night, their home is invaded by members of a satanic cult, who violently attack the couple. Spilled blood and terror are not all they leave behind. The cultists have conjured an entity so malevolent that nothing they did will compare to the sinister conduit to the damned that is now...Annabelle.
Annabelle Wallis ( X-Men: First Class ) and Ward Horton ( The Wolf of Wall Street ) star as the Forms. Oscar nominee Alfre Woodard ( Cross Creek, Twelve Years a Slave ) stars as Evelyn, a neighbor who owns a bookstore. Rounding out the cast are Kerry O'Malley (TV's Those Who Kill ) and Brian Howe ( Devil's Knot ) as neighbors Sharon and Pete Higgins; Tony Amendola (TV's Once Upon A Time ) as Father Perez; and Eric Ladin (TV's Boardwalk Empire, ) as Detective Clarkin.
Annabelle reunites the filmmakers behind 2013's hugely successful supernatural thriller The Conjuring. John R. Leonetti, who served as cinematographer on The Conjuring, directed the film. James Wan, director of the global hit, produced Annabelle with Peter Safran.
Gary Dauberman wrote the script. Richard Brener, Walter Hamada, Dave Neustadter and Hans Ritter served as the executive producers. Also joining Leonetti behind the scenes were director of photography James Kniest, production designer Bob Ziembicki, editor Tom Elkins, and costume designer Janet Ingram. Joseph Bishara composed the score.
New Line Cinema presents an Atomic Monster/Safran Company Production, Annabelle. The film has been rated R for intense sequences of disturbing violence and terror. It is being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company.
