The people of UAE love scary movies and to add more to your love, a supernatural film Djinn, made in UAE has hit the cinema houses across the UAE. Djinn has made over one million dirhams in its opening weekend.
Developed by Abu Dhabi-based Image Nation, the movie is about an Emirati couple who move into a haunted apartment block in Ras Al Khaimah.
Launched on 31 October (Halloween night – natch!) and directed by “master of horror” Tobe Hooper, the film is being shown in cinemas across the UAE. Djinn was seen by 23,000 people in the first three days – increasing from 6,500 on opening night to 8,500 on day three.
Since its release, Djinn has set the record for the best performing Emirati film ever in the opening weekend. Plus, it’s currently number two in the Gulf area, second only to Tom Hank’s Captain Phillips.
Mohammed Al Mubarak, Chairman of Image Nation said that the biggest success for Image Nation is that audiences of all nationalities are going to see Djinn – especially as the majority of dialogue is in Arabic. It really has crossed the boundaries between the different communities we see here in the UAE.
It’s a must watch movie for all those who just love scare. We recommend you to to watch it. Enjoy the scare!
