The movie, which features Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as a husband and wife team of paranormal investigators, was axed by some Paris cinemas on its release day.
According to French newspaper Le Parisien, the reason for it being pulled from the Cyrano de Versailles cinema was cited as “ensure the safety of staff and customers”.
A brawl was reported at the MK2 Bastille movie theater after one group annoyed other audience members by “screaming at the slightest movement” on screen.

This is not the first time this has happened to the Conjuring franchise. Similar events happened during the release of Annabelle, which was a spin-off of the first Conjuring movie. French movie theaters removed the movie from it’s schedules for “security reasons.”
