The Conjuring Universe is released its ninth and final film, The Conjuring: Last Rites, in cinemas this weekend. The series has a massive and loyal fanbase in India, and the excitement for this last chapter is proving to be absolutely insane.
The advance bookings for the film were on fire across the country, indicating that a huge opening day was on the cards. Despite clashing with big Bollywood releases like Baaghi 4 and The Bengal Files, this horror flick is more than holding its own and is shaping up to be a box office monster.
Aiming For Super Hit 50 Crore Weekend
The pre-release buzz for The Conjuring: Last Riteshas been phenomenal, and it’s showing in the ticket sales. The film sold a whopping 2,27,000 tickets in the top three national chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis) for its opening day alone. This is an incredible start for any Hollywood film in India beating advance booking numbers of all films in 2025.
Based on this amazing trend, trade experts are predicted that the movie was aiming for a record-shattering opening day collection of ₹16.67 crore in addition to 42.83 lac in paid previews on Thursday.
Film collected equally impressive 17.50 crore on day two taking its total to 34.60 crore net and now its has surpassed all expectations and aiming for 50 crore net number over weekend itself. If it manages to hit this number, it won’t just be a huge start; it will be a historic one for the entire franchise. Film has surpassed combined collection of new and holdover Hindi releases.
A Look Back At The Universe’s Biggest Openers
To understand just how massive a ₹50 crore opening weekend would be, it’s important to look at how the previous films in the universe have performed. Currently, the record for the biggest opening day for the franchise in India is held by The Nun, which opened to a massive ₹10.8 crore in 2018.
Other big openers from the universe include The Conjuring 2, which collected ₹7 crore on its first day, and Annabelle: Creation, which earned ₹6 crore. For The Conjuring: Last Rites to open at ₹15 crore would mean it would beat the previous record by a huge margin, cementing its place as the most popular film in the entire series for Indian audiences.
