Made for Rs 1,817 crore, earned Rs 17,400 crore, The Conjuring Universe set to end after a decade of horror?
In 2013, a spine-chilling horror film arrived, one that won over both audiences and critics. Made on a budget of Rs 1,817 crore, it went on to earn a jaw-dropping Rs 17,400 crore worldwide. That film was The Conjuring. It didn't just scare people, it reshaped the very definition of fear. Based on true cases investigated by famed paranormal researchers Ed and Lorraine Warren, the film gave birth to The Conjuring Universe, Hollywood's most successful horror franchise. How did the saga grow? The first film's popularity was so massive that finding a ticket in theatres became a task. In India, too, it performed phenomenally. Globally, it crossed Rs 2,650 crore at the box office. Then came the spin-offs and sequels. Annabelle (2014) The Conjuring 2 (2016) Annabelle: Creation (2017) The Nun (2018) Annabelle Comes Home (2019) The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021), based on a real murder case The Nun 2 (2023) Each film found its way to haunt audiences, adding to the franchise's massive earnings and cementing its cult status. Why did it become a phenomenon? The success was not just about jump scares. The stories, rooted in alleged real-life events, gave the terror a raw edge. Ed and Lorraine Warren's case files became the backbone of the franchise, making the supernatural feel unsettlingly real. It also proved one thing — horror as a genre never truly fades. If anything, The Conjuring Universe made it stronger than ever, scaring generations and setting box office benchmarks. When does the curtain fall? After more than a decade of nightmares, the saga is preparing to end. The final chapter of The Conjuring Universe is set to release later this year. Fans are bracing themselves for one last plunge into the darkness, a farewell to the world that turned fear into an art form.

This bone-chilling horror film has 8 parts, made on budget of Rs 1817 crores, earned Rs 17400 crores, its last part is coming in..., movie name is...
It began with a haunted farmhouse, a pair of determined investigators, and an eerie clap in the dark. What followed was not just a single terrifying tale but the birth of one of the most chilling cinematic universes in horror history. With each chapter, it dove deeper into cursed objects, demonic entities, and the battles between faith and fear. Which horror franchise is this? Here we are talking about 2013's The Conjuring, where real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) helped the Perron family deal with a demonic presence in their Rhode Island farmhouse. Directed by James Wan, the film was lauded for its suspense, emotional depth, and classic horror style, sparking global success. The Conjuring 2, which was released in 2016, shifted to London, where the Warrens investigated the Enfield poltergeist. The film introduced the demon Valak, later known as The Nun. Rich in atmosphere and character development, it deepened the emotional bond between the Warrens while expanding the horror universe. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, which made its debut in 2021, took a legal turn, portraying the real 1981 bone-chilling trial of Arne Johnson, where demonic possession was used as a defense for murder. While stylistically different, it explored the psychological toll of evil and added a thriller element to the franchise. What were the other parts that were connected to The Conjuring universe? Alongside the main Conjuring trilogy, the cinematic universe expanded with chilling spin-offs that deepened its supernatural mythology. The Annabelle series, Annabelle (2014), Annabelle: Creation (2017), and Annabelle Comes Home (2019), focused on the sinister doll locked away in the Warrens' artifact room. The Nun (2018) took viewers to 1950s Romania to explore the dark origins of Valak, the demonic nun introduced in The Conjuring 2. How much collection has been done by the franchise? Collectively, these films, which were made under Rs 1817 crores, amassed Rs 17400 crores, making the Conjuring Universe one of the most successful and enduring horror franchises in cinematic history. What was the last case of the Warrens? Now, the final chapter awaits, which is The Conjuring: Last Rites. As it is said to close the book on Ed and Lorraine's on-screen journey. This time, they confront the dark forces behind the infamous Smurl haunting of the 1980s. Promising emotional stakes, spiritual warfare, and a culmination of all that came before, Last Rites aims to be a haunting farewell to the universe that started with something very sinister. According to the trailer, it is expected that this part is going to become one of the most bone-chilling ride amongst all. The Conjuring: Last Rites, is slated for release on September 5, 2025.

The film is on track to cross the Rs. 75 crore mark, which will be a great result for the film. The way it is holding, it might have gotten close to Rs. 80 crore, but the release of Housefull 5 and Thug Life this Friday will probably hit the collection.

Box Office: Ryan Coogler's Sinners surpasses The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2, eyes USD 400M global run
Ryan Coogler's Sinners continues its impressive box office momentum, overtaking two of horror's most iconic titles to become one of the genre's top global performers of all time. The supernatural horror film has grossed USD 336.6 million globally, surpassing the worldwide totals of The Conjuring (USD 320.4M) and The Conjuring 2 (USD 322.2M). With this milestone, Sinners now ranks as the 15th highest-grossing horror film worldwide and is set to leap into the 14th spot soon by overtaking A Quiet Place (USD 341M). Starring Michael B. Jordan in dual roles, Sinners added USD 4.4 million from international markets over its sixth weekend, with a 22.2 percent increase from the previous weekend, bringing its overseas total to USD 80 million across 71 territories. In the US, the film has amassed a robust USD 256.6 million. Industry projections now place its global total well past the USD 350 million mark, with a final tally likely to peak between USD 380 million and USD 400 million, making it one of the most successful original horror films in recent years. Directed, written, and produced by Coogler, Sinners is set in 1932 Mississippi and follows two criminal brothers—both played by Jordan—who return to their hometown seeking redemption, only to confront a sinister supernatural force awaiting them. The film also stars Wunmi Mosaku, Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, Jack O'Connell, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Miles Caton. Coogler began developing the project under his Proximity Media banner in early 2024. A competitive bidding war ensued for distribution rights, with Warner Bros. emerging as the winner in February. Principal photography took place from April to July 2024, with longtime Coogler collaborator Ludwig Göransson composing the score and serving as executive producer. Sinners premiered in US theaters on April 18 and received widespread critical acclaim for its unique blend of music, horror, and historical drama. With a production budget of USD 90 million excluding marketing, the film has become not just a commercial hit but also a critical and cultural standout in 2025. As it climbs higher in the ranks of horror box office history, Sinners solidifies the power of Coogler and Jordan's collaboration as a visionary filmmaker and a versatile actor.
