Baaghi 4 vs The Bengal Files advance booking update: Theatre-goers pick The Conjuring Last Rites instead of Tiger Shroff, Vivek Agnihotri’s films

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 advance booking

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.

The Bengal Files advance booking

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.
