The Nun 2,” directed by Michael Chaves and featuring Taissa Farmiga in the lead role, has generated a significant buzz at the Indian box office. In its first 11 days, the film raked in over Rs 30 crores nett, demonstrating its substantial audience appeal. This impressive performance is particularly noteworthy given the competition from “Jawan,” another box office sensation.

The lion’s share of the film’s Indian revenue has originated from top national chains such as PVRInox and Cinepolis, contributing approximately Rs 20.25 crores nett to the total collections. Another national chain, MovieMax, also chipped in with around Rs 70 lakhs. These figures underline the enduring popularity of “The Nun” and “The Conjuring” franchises in the Indian market, outshining recent horror offerings like “The Pope’s Exorcist,” “Evil Dead Rise 2,” and “Insidious: The Red Door.”

“The Nun 2” has not only charmed Indian audiences but also captivated moviegoers worldwide. Created on a budget of just under 40 million dollars, the film has already grossed over 150 million dollars by the end of its second weekend. Industry experts predict the final collections to reach or even surpass 275 million dollars, with substantial contributions expected from North America and Latin America. This positive box office reception could pave the way for more films from “The Nun” franchise.

The film is set in 1956 France and revolves around Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) investigating the violent death of a priest, leading her to confront a formidable evil. The film continues to draw audiences to theaters.

“The Nun 2” is part of a larger cinematic universe known as “The Conjuring Universe.” The film continues the narrative of Sister Irene, introduced in the first “Nun” movie, as she encounters the demon Valak once again.

The “Conjuring” films follow the real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren as they delve into alleged demonic hauntings based on true events. Alongside these films, the “Annabelle” spin-off series chronicles the journey of the haunted doll as it torments unsuspecting victims. New Line Cinema is now establishing a third franchise with the sequel to “The Nun.”
