The last installment of The Conjuring Universe, The Conjuring Last Rites, started making waves at the Indian box office even before its release with sensational advance bookings. The horror thriller hit the big screens yesterday, and on expected lines, it is off to a terrific start.
According to trade reports, the film collected nearly Rs. 21 crores gross in India and emerged as the all-time biggest Hollywood opener among horror films, surpassing the franchise’s very own The Nun. It is also the highest Hollywood opener this year. The numbers include the midnight previews held on Thursday. Yesterday, The Conjuring Last Rites was the number one film at the Indian box office, dominating the local films.
The collections would have been much higher if not for the multiple releases. The phenomenal opening proves the kind of loyal fanbase The Conjuring has earned in India. The reviews are mixed, and we need to see how the film will fare from hereon.
