The Conjuring: Last Rites Roars Ahead of Baaghi 4 in Advance Bookings

The box office is heating up with two big releases gearing up to hit theatres, Baaghi 4, the action-packed Tiger Shroff starrer, and The Conjuring: Last Rites, the latest chapter in the globally loved horror saga. But if the early advance booking trends are anything to go by, The Conjuring is leaving Baaghi 4 far behind.
As of Tuesday 4 PM, the numbers speak for themselves:
Baaghi 4 has sold 7,000 tickets in the top national chains (PVRInox + Cinepolis).
PVRInox: 5,000
Cinepolis: 2,000
The Conjuring: Last Rites has stormed past with a phenomenal 34,000 tickets already sold.
PVRInox: 30,000
Cinepolis: 4,000
That’s nearly five times bigger than Baaghi 4!
What makes it more remarkable is that The Conjuring has also pulled in 3,000 tickets just for the special 11:59 PM shows on Wednesday, in addition to its Day 1 sales. This shows the immense craze and fan following the horror franchise enjoys among Indian audiences, who are eager to experience the spine-chilling spectacle first on the big screen.

The Verdict
While Baaghi 4 has managed a decent start with its action quotient pulling in fans, it is The Conjuring: Last Rites that has clearly emerged as the frontrunner in advance bookings. The horror franchise has built a strong brand over the years, and its latest outing looks all set to open much bigger than Tiger Shroff’s actioner.
With the weekend approaching, all eyes will be on how these numbers grow, but for now, it’s safe to say , The Conjuring is scaring away the competition even before release!
