Insidious: The Red Door scared its way to the North American box office on a slow weekend, taking in an estimated $32.7 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday. The dark tale of astral projection and demonic possession, starring and directed by Patrick Wilson, had weak reviews. Still, for the fifth instalment of a horror franchise, it enjoyed an excellent opening.
Meanwhile, the fifth Indiana Jones episode, again starring Harrison Ford as a whip-cracking archaeologist, took in $26.5 million for the Friday-through-Sunday period, a long way from recouping the film’s estimated $295 million budget.
Modest Budget And Critics’ Proof Franchise
It did better than the last installment, Insidious: The Last Key, from 2018 and is the most any PG-13 horror movie has earned in its debut in the past two years. Insidious 5 was not well reviewed – but modestly budgeted scary movies are often critic-proof when it comes to the box office. This Blumhouse-produced franchise starring Wilson and Rose Byrne began in 2011 under the direction of James Wan and has been responsible for over $570 million in global box office returns – and none of the films have cost more than $16 million to produce. Only the first movie received a “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes; The Insidious films more often garner sub 40% scores.
It was shrewd of Sony to release Insidious on the weekend between two Hollywood tentpoles, in this case. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part I, which opens on Wednesday. But it was still a surprise that it was able to take No. 1 from something as well-known as Indiana Jones.
