Insidious: The Red Door has quickly risen to the top of the charts on Netflix just days after its release. This direct sequel to Insidious: Chapter 2 continues the haunting story of the Lambert family, who are still dealing with the supernatural events from the previous films. Not only did the movie achieve great success in theaters, earning $189 million with a modest $16 million budget, but it has now claimed the number one spot on Netflix in the United States. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering the competition from movies like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse. The ongoing success of Insidious: The Red Door demonstrates the franchise's triumphant return.
What Insidious 5's Success Means For The Franchise
The ending of Insidious: The Red Door signifies the film's intention to conclude the horror franchise, particularly the story of the Lambert family. Despite the numerous mysterious and terrifying events depicted throughout the movie, the family's saga reaches a definitive conclusion. Although there is a possibility of future installments, it is evident that, at least for now, the core family's narrative has reached its conclusion.
Nevertheless, the post-credits scene in Insidious: The Red Door opens up the possibility for the franchise to continue exploring new stories within its universe. Considering the immense financial success of the movie, it is plausible that there will be further exploration of astral projection and demonic entities. As the film has now garnered significant popularity on Netflix, it is uncertain what lies ahead, despite the initial intention of concluding the franchise.
After Insidious: The Red Door, the only upcoming film is the spinoff titled Thread: An Insidious Tale. Limited information is available about the movie, but it has the potential to serve as a launching point for an expanded universe, with a shift in focus towards new characters. It is uncertain if the fifth main installment will pave the way for additional movies directly connected to the concluded journey of the Lambert family. Jeremy Slater, known for his work on Death Note and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, will make his directorial debut with Thread: An Insidious Tale.
