In Theaters: ANNABELLE COMES HOME, YESTERDAY, OPHELIA and EUPHORIA

Nothing spells "summer" quite like an R-rated horror film. But when that film is part of "The Conjuring" universe, you can bet it's going to bring in a lot of money, so it makes sense to release it during the crowded summer season (although not very impressive, so far). "Annabelle Comes Home" is the latest Conjurverse spinoff sequel to hit theaters, and it brings back the original franchise team of Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson.

The third installment in the "Annabelle" franchise brought in $3.5 million from Tuesday night previews, and a modest $7.2 million in its opening day on Wednesday from 3,603 theaters. It also scored a low "B-" from CinemaScore, which is a franchise low. The film is expected to gross around $16 million this weekend, which isn't even close to topping the charts as "Toy Story" is primed to lead the pack once again with over $60 million.

Another new wide release is the British Beatles-inspired rom-com "Yesterday" from acclaimed director Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting", "127 Hours"). The film opened in 2,603 theaters and could end the weekend with around $12 million.

In limited release you should definitely check out the Shakespeare-inspired drama "Ophelia" starring Daisy Ridley and Naomi Watts, and the 2017 drama "Euphoria" starring Alicia Vikander and Eva Green.

ANNABELLE COMES HOME

Determined to keep Annabelle from wreaking more havoc, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren bring the possessed doll to the locked artifacts room in their home, placing her "safely" behind sacred glass and enlisting a priest's holy blessing.
