Neither Tiger Shroff's action in Baaghi 4 nor Vivek Agnihotri's Direct Action day tale The Bengal Files, theatre-goers seem to pick The Conjuring: Last Rites according to advance booking reports.

While Bollywood has new offerings in Tiger Shroff-Sanjay Dutt's Baaghi 4 and Vivek Agnihotri's The Bengal Files, neither of the films are impressing theatre-goers. The viewers, instead, wish to walk in and experience the horrors in The Conjuring: Last Rites, if the advance booking numbers are anything to go by. Some factors, including limited release, might be affecting the numbers, but for now, the demand for Conjuring is higher than both the Hindi films.

The Conjuring: Last Rites is what theatre-goers are most excited about, according to the advance booking numbers released by Pinkvilla. The film has already earned Rs. 15 crore in advance booking, and the final release day numbers are yet to be out. Thus, the horror film leads the way for Friday releases.
Tiger Shroff and Sanjay Dutt's Baaghi 4, often drawing comparisons with Ranbir Kapoor's Animal, has managed to earn Rs. 5.21 crore at the Box Office. The previous three movies had opened to Rs. 11 crore, Rs. 25 crore and Rs. 17 crore, respectively.
The Bengal Files is worse affected owing to the limited screens. If taking Rs. 30 lakh of block booking in consideration, the advance booking update for the movie is Rs. 45 lakh. However, the limited release for the movie also impacts the advance booking for The Bengal Files. The movie's advance booking has not opened in West Bengal, and the movie's release in the district itself remains uncertain.
