Horror movies continued their trend of strong performances this weekend, as Warner Bros. /New Line?s ?Annabelle: Creation? won the No. 1 spot handily with a $35 million opening. Trackers had pegged the film for an opening of $27-30 million. While critics mostly panned the first ?Annabelle? with a 29 percent rating, critics who saw ?Creation? at the Los Angeles Film Festival and San Diego Comic-Con were much more positive, giving this prequel a 69 percent RT score. Taking second is another WB film, ?Dunkirk,? which earned $11.4 million in its fourth weekend.
