Well.... RIP this franchise most likely. The case is really pretty iron clad and... well.. :skull: Good riddance!

You clearly haven't read the case this guy made. He's entitled to every single earning from the franchise because he owns the rights to the story :rip:

As somebody who liked both Conjuring movies (though Annabelle can go DIAF), I'm actually rooting for Gerald Brittle, the guy suing Warner Bros., for one simple reason. The crux of his argument is that Ed and Lorraine Warren were liars, and that his account of what had happened (which The Conjuring apparently ripped off) ought to be treated as a work of fiction, and not a historical event subject to fair use like the studio is claiming. As somebody who stands in firm agreement on that fact, I want this to go to trial if only to see the studio's lawyers, and perhaps Lorraine Warren herself, actually trying to prove the existence of paranormal activity in a court of law. That's bound to be a fun courtroom battle.

Even if I find it odd that he's waited this long to sue them, and personally think there's a bit of opportunism in his lawsuit, that one thing is enough to put a smile on my face.

I hope this kills the "based on true story" crap in horror movies.

Update, so this is going to court and the judge actually dismissed the studio's initial attempts to more or less bury this. Trial is set for April 16, 2018. So definitely NOT going to be fizzling out

Not really. They're being sued for how much the illegally made movies made :cm: Or a little under that amount
