Annabelle 3is officially titledAnnabelle Comes Home. New Line Cinema just released the first teaser for the movie, which unfortunately does not contain any footage from the highly anticipated sequel. However, we do get to hear that really creepy laugh from the equally creepy doll.Annabelle Comes Homehits theaters on June 28th, so this is just the beginning of the promotional campaign and we can expect to see the first full-length trailer within the next few weeks, which should give horror fans a better idea of what’s going on in the movie and the rest ofThe Conjuringfranchise.
Annabelle Comes Homefeatures the return ofEd and Lorraine WarrenfromThe Conjuringfranchise, with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga back in their respective roles. It is expected that the characters will be back in a supporting role at this time. Additionally, James Wan is back to produce the latest installment, which will take place in the Warren home. During his San Diego Comic-Con appearance last summer to promoteAquaman, Wan had a pretty funny description forAnnabelle 3, calling it “basicallyA Night at the Museum, with Annabelle!”
Annabelle Comes Homeis set to take place in theWarren family artifact room. It is believed that the doll won’t be able to cause any harm in said room, but that is thrown out the window real fast as it turns out that she can. Gary Dauberman, who wroteAnnabelle CreationandThe Nunis in the director’s chair forAnnabelle 3. In addition to the already mentioned plot points, Dauberman adds that “she really awakens the evil within that room and they target the Warrens' 10-year-old daughter, Judy. So, that’s the set-up.”
It sounds likeAnnabelle Comes Homeis going to be a worthy follow up to the second installment. However, there is a little bit of skepticism from horror fans who did not enjoyThe Nunall that much. WhileThe Nun received mixed reviewsfrom fans and critics, it was still a great success at the box office, earning over $365.5 million and gaveThe Conjuringfranchise its biggest ever global debut with $131 million. The movie did better thanAnnabelle Creation, so it’s going to be interesting to see how the third installment fares when it is released later this summer.
Production onAnnabelle Comes Homewrapped back in December. And while we now have a teaser and an official trailer, much of the movie is still very much a mystery. Gary Dauberman is familiar with the territory and this will be his directorial debut, so horror fans should be in good hands when the movie hits theaters in June. With that being said, the full-length trailer can’t be too far down the line now. While we wait, you may check out the brief teaser below, thanks to theAnnabelle Comes Home Twitteraccount.
