Horror movie The Nun is doing something rather unexpected, it’s making people laugh! The latest in Conjuring franchise is doing stellar business all around the world and is the latest thing to get meme-d by the internet.
The film, which features a grotesque demon nun, was panned by critics but the audience seems to love it, while the internet loves making fun of it. Several internet users played on the word ‘nun’ to make new posters on a Lagaan song, Race 3, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasma and even recent meme fodder, Sui Dhaaga.
Check out a few examples:
The Nun has made Rs 28 crore at the Indian box office over the weekend and is the most successful film in the franchise. “#TheNun emerges the franchise’s best opener...
