The Nun 2 has had its official MPA rating and it looks like it’ll be on par with the original movie.
The latest entry in the ever-expanding Conjuring Universe has been rated R for ”violent content and some terror”. That is pretty similar to The Nun, which was also rated R for ”terror, violence, and disturbing/bloody images” back in 2018.
While The Nun wasn’t exactly on the high end of that R rating scale, it did more than enough to earn it.
The Nun 2 sees Taissa Farmiga return as Sister Irene, who once more encounters Demon Nun Valak after the murder of a priest in 1950s France. Joining Farmiga is Storm Reid (The Last of Us) and Bonnie Aarons is back as the titular evil Nun.
Nun Better Than This
Both The Nun and The Nun 2 are spinoffs from James Wan’s The Conjuring 2, where the Demon Nun Valak was a part of the overall plot, but not the main focus in the same way Annabelle was in the first film.
2018’s The Nun was a box office smash as it summoned more than $360 million during its worldwide theatrical run. That made it the most successful movie in the entire franchise to date so you can see why a sequel was an inevitability.
The Nun 2 is the ninth film in the Conjuring Universe, and will no doubt add a healthy stack of cash to the already impressive $2.1 billion box office haul the franchise has hauled in so far. That hasn’t stopped James Wan from thinking about ending the Conjuring Universe with The Conjuring 4 however.
The Nun 2 is in theaters from September 8, 2023.
