The final film in the popular horror franchise ‘The Conjuring’, ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’, continues to perform well at the Indian box office. The film is doing better than its domestic releases and has already set several records in its first week.
Better Collections On Tuesday
Directed by Michael Chaves and starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, the film continued its good run on Tuesday as well. According to preliminary figures from Sacnilk, the film earned approximately ₹5.68 crore on Tuesday, up 13.6% from Monday’s ₹5 crore collection.
This strong performance comes after the film’s strong opening weekend, which saw it cross the ₹50.5 crore nett mark in three days. So far, the film’s total net collection has reached ₹61.18 crore and gross ₹60.40 crore. This is believed to be the biggest opening ever for a Hollywood horror film in India.
New record Close For Franchise
‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’ is very close to ‘The Conjuring 2’s ₹61.80 crore record in India. Earlier this year, ‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ broke that record by earning ₹62.12 crore. Given the current momentum, Last Rites could soon surpass both these films.
The film’s total gross collection by day five has reached ₹67.5 crore.
Language-Wise Collections
The English version of the film earned ₹33.34 crore, while the Hindi dub contributed ₹24.38 crore. The Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions earned ₹2.51 crore and ₹95 lakh respectively. Thus, the total collection from regional languages was ₹3.46 crore.
Horror Film Overshadows Desi Films
‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’ has taken over domestic films and is leading the box office. Tiger Shroff’s ‘Baaghi 4’ has earned ₹39.75 crores in five days, while Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘The Bengal Files’ has reached ₹9.19 crores. The earnings of both these films have declined during the weekdays, while Last Rites’ momentum is intact.
Record-Breaking Opening Worldwide
Internationally, ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’ has recorded the biggest opening of horror films till date. The ninth film in Warner Bros. and New Line’s supernatural universe earned $194 million worldwide in its first weekend, breaking the record of 2017 film ‘It’ of $190 million.
Of this earning, $110 million has come from the overseas market, which is a new international record for the horror genre. Including films like ‘The Nun’ and ‘Annabelle’, ‘The Conjuring’ franchise is now the most successful horror series in history with a total gross of over $2.3 billion.
