Conjuring 2 release date is on October 23, 2015 and expectations are now high after the masisve hit of its spin-off 'Annabelle'.

While no plot has been given about the upcoming film, here are some leaked details and speculations we've heard of:

According to Screenrant, the sequel almost never happened due to a lawsuit filed against Warner Bros. The suit alleged that Warners failed to improperly compensate Evergreen Media Studios, the company through which the contents of Ed and Lorraine Warren's case files were licensed for use in The Conjuring. While the dispute has yet to be solved, it appears that Warner Bros. still plans to go full steam ahead with both films, lawsuit pending or not.

It was also reported that the film's budget is only $20 million. The Conjuring was one of the most successful films of 2013, garnering over $300 million worldwide. With that in mind, it's not hard to see why Warner is confident to create a sequel and make it as a movie franchise despite legal issues. At the end of the day, this is Hollywood, this conflict will likely end up in an arrangement that will make both parties richer.

Conjuring stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are not expected to return in Annabelle, although they are set to return for The Conjuring 2. Leading Annabelle's cast are Alfre Woodard (True Blood), Annabelle Wallis (The Tudors), Ward Horton (The Wolf of Wall Street), and Brian Howe (Justified).

Plot details for Annabelle remain unknown, but considering that Warner Bros. greenlit the spinoff only a few months after The Conjuring was released, it's doubtful that the studio is worried about getting a return on this investment. Will this film join Chucky as one of the scariest possessed dolls in Hollywood?
