Insidious 6 Scares Up Strong Box Office While Spider-Man Keeps Dominating
The latest trip into the Further is off to a solid start. Per JoBlo, 'Insidious: Out of the Further' opened to $25.3 million at the domestic box office this weekend, securing second place. This opening performance lands between several of the franchise's prior entries, coming in higher than the original movie and 'Insidious Chapter 3' but below the second, fourth, and fifth films.
Meanwhile, nothing could dethrone the web-slinger. 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' swung to another $39 million weekend, according to JoBlo, bringing its domestic total to $854 million and putting it on track to become the highest-grossing film ever in the U.S. and Canada.
Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' crossed a major milestone, with its $539 million domestic haul now making it the director's highest-grossing film ever, surpassing 'The Dark Knight', JoBlo reports.
Other holdovers saw steep drops. 'PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie' fell 51% to $9.1 million, while 'The End of Oak Street' dropped 57% to $9 million. Jason Statham's new action film 'Mutiny' debuted modestly in sixth place with $7.5 million.
As for the future of the 'Insidious' franchise, /Film argues its concept allows for endless stories. The outlet notes the sixth film introduces a 'Courier' who can move objects between realms, suggesting the series could easily branch out to new characters and horrors beyond the established families.
