The Anticipated Sequel
"The Nun II" is an eagerly awaited sequel to "The Nun," which stands as the highest-grossing film in "The Conjuring" series—a franchise that has earned over $2 billion worldwide. The new film dives deep into a disturbing event where a priest is ruthlessly murdered, pulling Sister Irene back into a haunting confrontation with Valak.
