Hollywood horror films have left an imprint on the Indian box office for a very long time. The genre has matured and evolved over time. This year two of the biggest horror films from Hollywood to have made it to Indian screens are Insidious: Chapter 3, currently running to full houses and Poltergeist that grossed over 2 million USD in the first 3 days of release in India. Some other films such as conjuring and Anabella have also fared extremely well in India, keeping up to its international success. Alongside action and franchise driver cinema, horror is the third strongest contender from Hollywood in India.
Sunil Udhani, Distribution Head, Multivision Multimedia Pvt. Ltd. said, “Horror has always been a favorite among Indian audiences. While the trend is on the upswing here in Bollywood, the market for movies like Vatican tapes is ever expanding. We have already seen a couple of success stories from the genre with this year. Horror is a unique genre in Hollywood that is not star dependent on stars; on top of that VaticanTapes can boast of an illustrious star cast such as Djimon Hounsou and Dougray Scott. We are sure The Vatican Tapes will continue in the tradition of box office success.”
