CONJURING 2 box office results trickling in from Friday — with predictions

New Line’s Conjuring 2 is beating its projections from earlier in the week with a No. 1 take of $37.1M at 3,343 theaters. It’s down 11% from its 2013 predecessor’s $41.9M opening ..

That is actually a good opening for a sequel in the box office world – sequelitis is a very real thing.

Even TMNT2 was less than projected earlier..

But CONJURING is beating the predictions a bit.. 

It is also one of the few movies right now on ROTTEN TOMATOES with a decent score from both critics and viewers..
