September 10, 2027 — young Warrens get their own Conjuring Friday
The Conjuring: First Communion opens Friday, September 10, 2027. Huart’s prequel tracks early Ed and Lorraine — Wareing and Fix stepping into the roles Wilson and Farmiga made bankable across the mainline films — from a Naing/Goldberg script under Safran’s producing umbrella at New Line.
The universe already cleared $2.7B+ and Last Rites proved the brand was not done after “final chapter” marketing. First Communion is the next dated move: go younger, keep the Warren center, skip another Nun subtitle swap.
Confirmed: Sep 10 2027 prequel — not Last Rites, not Wilson/Farmiga as teens
Confirmed: September 10, 2027 theatrical; Huart directing; Naing/Goldberg writing; Wareing/Fix as young Ed/Lorraine; Safran producing. Not confirmed as Wilson and Farmiga starring as the young couple, as a retitle of Last Rites, or as The Revenge of La Llorona (April 9, 2027 — different Conjuring-universe lane). Fake “Conjuring 5 2026” mashups are wrong IPs.
From Last Rites money to First Communion date
- Mainline Conjuring films — Wilson/Farmiga as adult Warrens.
- Last Rites (2025) — Naing/Goldberg script; huge box office; “last” branding that did not end the universe.
- Jan 2026 — First Communion dated September 10, 2027; Huart attached.
- Jul 2026 — Wareing and Fix announced as young Ed and Lorraine.
- Sep 10, 2027 — theatrical target.
Before September — pick the right Warren chapter
- Tickets say First Communion / Sep 10, 2027 — not Last Rites re-releases.
- Expect Wareing/Fix on the poster, not Wilson/Farmiga as the young leads.
- La Llorona (Apr 9, 2027) is a different universe title — do not merge calendars.
- Annabelle/Nun spin-offs keep their own names; this is Warren-centered.
- Ignore listicles dating “Conjuring 5” without the First Communion title.
They marketed Last Rites like a finale — then dated a young-Warren prequel for September 2027
Horror franchises love “final chapter” posters. New Line’s answer after Last Rites’ haul was not silence: hire a short-film director, keep the Last Rites writers, recast Ed and Lorraine younger, and print September 10, 2027. That pivot — finale branding into origin Friday — is the story, not another generic “more demons incoming” blurb.
SEO that flattens First Communion into Last Rites or Annabelle dates is merging three different tickets.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does The Conjuring: First Communion open?
September 10, 2027 in theaters from New Line / Warner Bros. That is the dated prequel Friday — not a vague “fall 2027 Conjuring” window and not Last Rites’ 2025 release recycled under a new title.
2Who plays Ed and Lorraine?
Garrett Wareing and Amanda Fix star as young Ed and Lorraine Warren. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga remain the adult Warrens of the mainline films; First Communion is a youth/early-career cast, not a soft reboot with the same leads playing teenagers.
3Who is directing and writing?
Rodrigue Huart directs (New Line hired him off short-film work). Richard Naing and Ian Goldberg wrote the screenplay — the same pairing behind The Nun II and The Conjuring: Last Rites. Peter Safran produces.
4Is this Last Rites, The Nun, or Annabelle?
No. First Communion is a Conjuring-universe prequel about the Warrens’ early years. Last Rites is the prior mainline chapter; Nun and Annabelle are spin-off lanes with their own titles and Fridays. Do not merge their dates onto this URL.
