The Conjuring: Last Rites India Box Office Preview – Record-Breaking Start Expected for Horror Franchise Finale
The Conjuring: Last Rites set for a record-breaking India debut with ₹13–15 crore opening, 2,200 screens, and massive advance bookings. Biggest-ever for a horror film.
Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return in The Conjuring: Last Rites, expected to deliver the biggest opening ever for a horror film in India.
The highly anticipated final instalment of The Conjuring franchise – Last Rites – is set to release in India on September 5, 2025, with Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson returning in their iconic roles. Certified ‘A’ (Adults Only) by the CBFC, the horror drama has a runtime of 2 hours 15 minutes and premiered in select IMAX theatres at midnight on September 4.
Strong Advance Booking & Screen Count
Warner Bros. India is rolling out the film on 2,200 screens nationwide. Advance bookings opened earlier, and within hours, the film has sold nearly 1.5 lakh tickets across PVR Inox and Cinepolis. Final pre-sales are projected to cross 2 lakh tickets before release.
For perspective, The Conjuring: Last Rites has already outpaced major Hollywood titles like:
- Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning – 1.65 lakh tickets
- Jurassic World: Rebirth – 56,000 tickets
- Fantastic Four – 66,000 tickets
- F1 – 55,000 tickets
Expected Opening Day Collection
Industry estimates suggest a ₹13 crore–₹15 crore nett opening in India on Day 1, marking not only the biggest-ever opening for the Conjuring franchise, but also for any straight horror film in India.
While competition and screen-sharing may limit capacity, horror is considered a ‘massy genre’, and strong walk-ins could push the numbers even higher.
Weekend Outlook
Advance sales are already impressive:
- Saturday – 87,000 tickets sold
- Sunday – 60,000 tickets sold
- Opening weekend (Fri–Sun) – Approx. 3 lakh tickets across national chains
With such momentum, The Conjuring: Last Rites is virtually a hit before release, and box office trends over the next week will determine whether it escalates to a Super Hit or Blockbuster.
