‘Insidious: The Red Door’ Just Became the Highest Grossing Horror Movie of 2023 at Worldwide Box Office
Officially the highest grossing film in the entire Insidious franchise, the Patrick Wilson-directed Insidious: The Red Door just passed another major milestone over the weekend.
The worldwide total for Insidious: The Red Door as of this writing is $182,430,087, which makes the franchise’s fifth installment the highest grossing horror movie of 2023 to date!
The previous worldwide record holder for the horror genre this year was Universal’s big time success M3GAN, which finished its run with $180 million earlier this year.
Other horror movies this year that have come close to Insidious: The Red Door‘s record-holding amount include Scream VI ($168.9 million) and Evil Dead Rise ($146.7 million).
In just its first few days of release, Meg 2: The Trench has already gobbled up $142 million worldwide, so it’s only a matter of time before it completely smashes down The Red Door.
But for now, the new Insidious movie holds the crown. Enjoy it, Lipstick Demon.
An unexpected surprise last week, Insidious: The Red Door is now available to purchase ($24.99) or rent ($19.99) on Digital platforms including Amazon and Vudu.
The horror franchise’s original cast is back in Insidious: The Red Door, directed by and starring Patrick Wilson. Family secrets will be revealed as the Lamberts head back into The Further one more time, encountering demons from the past as well as brand new terrors.
In the film, “To put their demons to rest once and for all, Josh (Patrick Wilson) and a college-aged Dalton (Ty Simpkins) must go deeper into The Further than ever before.”
Meagan wrote in her review of Insidious: The Red Door for BD, “While it doesn’t give a sense of finality to the Further or its ghostly inhabitants, it does offer poignant closure.”
One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.
With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.
Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…
“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”
If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.
Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.
Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.
Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
