FREAKIER FRIDAY couldn’t beat the true Weapon of the weekend box office..
New Line’s movie earned an $18.2 million opening day from 3,202 locations — including $5.7 million from previews — and putting it on course for a $40 million opening weekend.
“Weapons” is only the 14th horror movie since 1981 to earn an A- or higher on CinemaScore, and becomes the second Warner horror film this year alongside Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” which earned the third horror A in CinemaScore history, to reach that mark.
Call it the summer of Annabelle.. The ‘haunted doll’ from the Warren’s collection is back in headlines again..
Retired NYPD officer Chris DeFlorio, alongside his wife Harmony, a former FDNY EMT, is issuing a public warning following the recent announcement that comedian Matt Rife has acquired the Warrens’ infamous occult museum the Annabelle doll. DeFlorio has been labeled a demonologist..
“Haunted objects are nothing to be played around with,” said Chris DeFlorio. “They are used as conduits for demons to find their way into our lives. Annabelle is one of the most famous examples we have of how demonic entities can cause chaos and even violence in the lives of human beings.”
“Lorraine Warren made it very clear that this doll should not be messed with and there’s a reason for that,” Chris emphasized. “All of this fear and curiosity creates energy, that’s what demons thrive on, that’s what increases their ability to manifest and torment. Turning Annabelle into a pop culture icon isn’t just irresponsible, it’s dangerous.”
“We don’t want to scare people,” adds Harmony. “But when you deal with spiritual danger, the consequences can be very real. If Matt is going to display this collection, we want to help ensure it’s done safely for him, for his team, and for the public.”
If Rife accepts, the DeFlorios would be the first to enter the museum under new ownership, conducting a spiritual risk assessment and blessing the collection.
