The track record for the franchise is strong ― “Annabelle” ($37.1 million); “The Conjuring” ($41.9 million); and “The Conjuring 2” ($40.4 million). David F. Sandberg directed the sequel about a dollmaker whose creation terrorizes a group of orphan girls. While it should land in the top three, Open Road’s sequel “Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature” appears to be a miss. That’s less than half of the first “Nut Job” movie, which opened to $19.4 million before going on to take in $120.9 million worldwide during its run. After “Nut Job 2” is Sony’s “Dark Tower” which underperformed during its opening weekend, and continues to slide.
