‘Insidious: Out Of The Further’ Has $3M Thursday Night, ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Clears $100M+ 3rd Week – Box Office

Sony/Blumhouse Atomic Monster/Stage 6 Films’ Insidious: Out of the Further made $3M in previews, a figure that’s under the $5M previews of the franchise’s previous chapter, Insidious: Red Door, which did $5M and posted a $33M opening back in July 2023. Previews began at 2PM. Outlook for the weekend, as we told you in what’s expected to be a one-two punch from Sony, is $23M-$27M at 3,303 theaters. The Culver City lot also has the fourth weekend of Spider-Man: Brand New Day which is expected to do around $35M in No. 1.

The Tom Holland-Zendaya movie ended its third week with $100.1M at 4,539 theaters, which is more than Avengers: Endgame‘s third week ($80.9M), but behind Star Wars: Force Awakens’ third week ($118..4M). Running cume for Brand New Day is $815.9M.

Out of the Further‘s less-than-franchise record start is to be expected: The Jacob Chase directed and written feature is a spinoff, with the only core series thespian in the pic being Lin Shaye. Pic follows Gemma, a young mother raising her daughter in the house she grew up in, who discovers she can travel into The Further, where she possesses an ability to bring what lives there back to the real world. Critics aren’t wild that they sat through Out of the Further at 58% Rotten on Rotten Tomatoes. No audience score yet. Note that’s better than previous chapter, Red Door, at 40%. The best reviews for an Insidious movie goes to the first one in 2010 at 60% fresh.

Lionsgate’s Jason Statham R-rated feature, Mutiny, did $700K in previews which began at 5PM yesterday. The pic is directed by Plane filmmaker Jean-François Richet who delivered Lionsgate that Gerard Butler cash cow which opened to $10.2M, ended its domestic run at $32.1M and made $74.5M WW. Weekend estimate is in the single digits at 2,703 theaters. Critics wanted to throw a mutiny at the theater while watching the movie with a 48% Rotten Tomatoes grade. No audience score yet. Statham’s previous movie from Black Bear, Shelter, had better reviews at 64% fresh, but opened to $5.5M domestic, legged out to $12.8M with better prospects abroad with a $54.5M global haul.

Also opening in the low digits, is Vertical’s The Magic Faraway Tree at 1,611 theaters and Black Bear’s R-rated female comedy Spa Weekend at 2,009 sites, both in the low single digits.
