By comparison, Annabelle: Creation, the last movie in the series, had made Rs 4.5 crore on its first Friday (excluding the Rs 2.7 crore it made in previews). Conjuring 2 had opened to Rs 5.2 crore. Each of these three films was debuted at the number one spot at the Indian box office.
Meanwhile, last week 's holdover, Stree, its positive word of mouth and has made Rs 72 crore so far in just over a week of release.
The Nun is expected to register the Conjuring series' biggest opening weekend abroad, too. The film is exceeding all expectations with a best franchise $ 54 million US and another $ 70 million worldwide. According to Deadline, this puts it ahead of Brad Pitt's World War Z, which opened to $ 112 million but it will not be able to match it, which broke records with its $ 189 million worldwide opening.
The reviews for the Nun, however, have not been as great. While the film is creating new box office records for the franchise, it has also become the best rated Rotten Tomatoes. The film currently holds 'rotten' 29% rating, while the highest rated film of the series remains the original Conjuring (86%).
The Hindustan Times called it 'final nail in the Conjuring series' coffin' in its two-star review.
