Insidious: The Red Door Dominates Box Office, Surpassing Indiana Jones’ Decline
The box office performance of “Insidious: The Red Door” and “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.” shows that “Insidious” could surpass “Indiana Jones” at the weekend box office, with an expected $31 million compared to Indy’s $28 million. “Indiana Jones” is experiencing a steeper decline than its predecessor, “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” and may struggle to reach $28 million in its second week.
It is known that horror films tend to have front-loaded ticket sales, and families may flock to theaters to watch “Indiana Jones” over the weekend, potentially helping it maintain its position.
“Insidious The Red Door” has strong opening numbers, considering it is the fifth film in a horror franchise with a budget of just $16 million.
The next Film:
As per reports, a spin-off film is already in development called “Thread: An Insidious Tale.”
Other films:
The independent film “Sound of Freedom” is expected to take third place at the box office with an estimated $15 million. It explores the topic of child sex trafficking and is attracting a faith-based audience, reflected in its high audience score.
“Elemental” and “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse” compete for the fourth and fifth positions, with “Elemental” predicted to finish ahead.
While “Spider-Man” has a significantly higher domestic box office total, “Elemental” is expected to earn around $8.5 million compared to Spider-Man’s $7.5 million.
The new R-rated comedy “Joy Ride” is projected to have a disappointing opening, falling out of the top five. It received positive reviews but struggled to attract audiences.
