Oscar winner Patricia Arquette plays a Pittsburgh hairdresser with no religious beliefs. That box office success led to 2016's Ouija: Origin of Evil, which worked as a prequel. The Woman in Black (2012)Ī young woman learns about the evil powers contained within a Ouija board in this 2014 supernatural thriller, which-despite poor reviews-earned more than $103 million worldwide on a $5 million budget ($50,856,010 in the U.S.). While the effort was valiant, neither the film-nor its box office earnings-couldn't compete with the original. In 2006, John Moore took on the rather unenviable task of re-creating Richard Donner's classic devil-of-a-kid movie. After making its debut at SXSW in 2019, the film went on to earn $54,733,739 at the American box office (despite largely mixed reviews). Michael Chaves directed this sixth installment in The Conjuring series, which was released as The Curse of the Weeping Woman in some markets. But the house's past catches up to the family and, as is so often the case in a movie like this, all hell breaks loose. This 2009 film, which is purportedly based on a true story, sees a family move into a new home, which used to operate as a mortuary, in order to be closer to the cancer hospital where their teenage son has been undergoing treatment.
