The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, alternatively titled as The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It on the North America home media release, is a 2021 American supernatural horror film released by Warner Bros Pictures and New Line Cinema and directed by Michael Chaves, with a screenplay by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick from a story by Johnson-McGoldrick and James Wan. The film serves as a sequel to The Conjuring (2013) and The Conjuring 2 (2016), and as the eighth installment in the Conjuring Universe. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprise their roles as paranormal investigators and authors Ed and Lorraine Warren, with Ruairi O'Connor, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Julian Hilliard also starring. Wan and Peter Safran return to produce the film, which is based on the trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson, a murder trial that took place in 1981 Connecticut, in addition to The Devil in Connecticut, a book about the trial written by Gerald Brittle.
Initial development for a third Conjuring film began in 2016, though Wan stated that he would not be directing another film in the series due to scheduling conflicts with other projects. Safran confirmed that the next film would not be a haunted house film. By June 2017, it was officially announced that a third installment was in development, with David Leslie Johnson hired to write the screenplay. Michael Chaves was announced as the film's director, after previously directing The Curse of La Llorona (2019). Filming took place in Georgia in summer 2019.
Originally scheduled for a 2020 release, the film was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It was released on DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray in the United States and Canada on August 24, 2021 by Studio Distribution Services (the home media distribution joint venture between Warner Bros Home Entertainment and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment), and in the United Kingdom and Ireland on September 6, 2021 by Warner Bros Home Entertainment.
