This Friday promises a big box-office clash with three major films hitting the cinemas: The Conjuring: Last Rites, Baaghi 4 starring Tiger Shroff, and Vivek Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files. While the Bollywood titles are expected to draw attention, early reports suggest that The Conjuring: Last Rites is far ahead in advance bookings, giving Hollywood yet another strong opening in India in 2025. Let’s take a look at what makes this horror film such a strong contender at the box office.
The Conjuring: Last Rites Advance Booking
According to reports, The Conjuring: Last Rites has already sold nearly 80,000 tickets across major chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. This suggests the film may cross the double-digit crore mark on its opening day in India. If predictions hold, it could even become the highest opening film in the Conjuring franchise so far.
On the other hand, Baaghi 4 has managed advance bookings worth ₹5.21 crore, including block bookings, but the film’s “A” certification might affect family audiences. Meanwhile, The Bengal Files lags behind with just ₹45 lakh worth of sales so far. Clearly, horror fans are ready to flock to theatres for one final scare with Ed and Lorraine Warren.

The Conjuring: Last Rites Release Date
The Conjuring: Last Rites is set to release in cinemas on Friday, September 5, 2025. This marks the final chapter of the long-running Conjuring franchise, which began in 2013. Over the years, the series and its spin-offs, including Annabelle and The Nun, have built a massive fan following worldwide.
With its release coinciding with the festive season and strong word-of-mouth expected, the film is likely to dominate the weekend box office, not just in India but globally.
The Conjuring: Last Rites Cast
The film brings back franchise favourites Vera Farmiga as Lorraine Warren and Patrick Wilson as Ed Warren. They are joined by:
- Ben Hardy as Tony Spera
- Mia Tomlinson as Judy Warren
- Elliot Cowan as Jack Smurl
- Rebecca Calder as Janet Smurl
- Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, and Molly Cartwright as members of the Smurl family
- Steve Coulter as Father Gordon
There are also several cameo appearances from characters in earlier films, including Lili Taylor, Frances O’Connor, and Julian Hilliard, creating a nostalgic connect for fans of the entire Conjuring Universe.
The Conjuring: Last Rites Plot
The story is inspired by the real-life Smurl haunting, a chilling case from Pennsylvania in the 1970s and 80s. The film shows the Smurl family being tormented by a demonic entity, leading them to seek the Warrens’ help.
This final chapter raises the stakes by making the case personal. The demon begins targeting the Warrens’ daughter, Judy, forcing Ed and Lorraine out of retirement. A cursed mirror from the past resurfaces, linking the Warrens’ old battles with the new terror.
The plot is described as both a family drama and a terrifying showdown with evil, exploring themes of legacy, faith, and sacrifice. While billed as the Warrens’ last investigation, it hints at Judy and Tony Spera continuing their legacy.
With strong advance bookings and high expectations, The Conjuring: Last Rites is set to open bigger than Baaghi 4 and The Bengal Files. As the final chapter in one of the most successful horror franchises ever, it promises both scares and an emotional farewell to Ed and Lorraine Warren. Horror fans and casual viewers alike seem ready to make it a blockbuster.
