The Conjuring: Last Rites debuted in theaters on September 5, 2025, and horror enthusiasts from all over India went to the theaters this past weekend. After being released in four languages—English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu—the movie shot to the top of the charts, taking the top spot both domestically and internationally.In its three-day opening weekend at the Indian box office, the ninth installment in the hugely successful Conjuring Universe franchise premiered on 2,130 screens, including IMAX, and brought in an incredible 49.54 crore net (58.45 crore gross). This outstanding start makes it Warner Bros.' best-ever opening in India and the largest opening for a Hollywood horror film in the nation.
It also recorded Hollywood's largest opening weekend of 2025.Over the years, the Conjuring movies have gained a sizable fan base in India thanks to their reputation for fusing jump scares with spooky, real-life-inspired narratives. With a stronger sense of closure, Last Rites carries on that custom. Franchise mainstays Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga return to their roles as renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in the movie, taking on one of their most challenging and sinister cases to date.The picture is produced by seasoned franchise designers James Wan and Peter Safran and directed by Michael Chaves, who has previously directed The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and The Curse of La Llorona. With a total global box office total of over $2 billion, the Conjuring Universe solidifies its status as one of the most lucrative horror franchises in contemporary filmmaking with Last Rites.However, the thrill—the screams, the chills, and that distinctive Conjuring atmosphere that keeps viewers coming back for more—is more important to audiences than the figures.
