Horror Film vs Supernatural Fiction Horror Film

I have removed the reference to supernatural fiction as this movie is based on true events that unfolded in Enfield, England. After reading the sources there is reason to believe the story is mostly or completely true to the events that happened, therefore they are not "fictionalized".

All of the other Conjuring films are labeled as "supernatural horror" films. Not so much "supernatural fiction", but the film has supernatural elements (the demon Valak, the demon nun, etc.), even if it is based on true events. Would it be safe to change it to "supernatural horror film"? Just an edit request. -- Draco9904 (talk) 4:26, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Second or Third

"It is the sequel to the 2013 film The Conjuring, and is the second installment in The Conjuring film series overall"

There seems to be debate over the changing of second to third. The Conjuring Film Series is based on The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2. The other movies are spin offs in the franchise but not the series. Thoughts on this? -- Dane2007 ^talk 23:36, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

More than a film series, Conjuring seems to be evolving into a shared universe (akin to the Marvel Cinematic Universe). So I think we can say something like, "It is the second film in the Conjuring series, and third in the Conjuring universe". Kailash29792 (talk) 08:44, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would support that re-write to more accurately represent where it falls in line. -- Dane2007 ^talk 23:34, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2nd Highest Grossing Horror film?

It is stated in the article that the Conjuring 2 became the second highest grossing horror film behind only the Exorcist. However, with the recent release of It, it has been noted that It has become the second highest grossing horror film behind the Sixth Sense. Does this not leave the Conjuring 2 to be the fourth highest grossing? Or the 3rd highest grossing at time of release? Britfan97 (talk) 08:18, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
