Insidious Franchise Officially Makes a Massive Comeback as Streaming Audiences Tune In
A strong theatrical run
Released in late August, Insidious: Out of the Further was positioned as a return to form after the mixed response to 2023’s Insidious: The Red Door. The latest film turned a reported $18 million budget into $171 million worldwide, finishing just short of the earlier movie’s total.
The result put the franchise installment near the box-office performance of Other Mommy, director Rob Savage’s latest horror project. That film passed $100 million against a reported $19 million budget, making it the biggest horror hit closest to Halloween.
Reviews and redemption
Reviews were better overall for Out of the Further than for The Red Door. Collider’s Charlie Ridgely praised writer-director Jacob Chase for making the franchise a story of “redemption, grace, and forgiveness,” and said it felt more rewatchable than most earlier entries. The film’s worldwide total and stronger critical response marked a successful theatrical run for the franchise’s latest installment.
Streaming audience grows
After leaving theaters, Out of the Further also found a large streaming audience. At the time of writing, it ranked as the tenth most-watched movie on Amazon worldwide. Another 2026 horror film, Resident Evil, topped the list.
