Insidious: Out of the Further Beats The Last Key

Out of the Further beats The Last Key at the box office — but barely. And it’s already losing its grip.

Insidious: Out of the Further has quietly edged past The Last Key to become the franchise’s second-highest-grossing film worldwide — but it’s not celebrating. The $168.1 million haul, per Box Office Mojo, is a narrow win over its 2018 predecessor, which grossed $167.8 million. That margin? A whisper.

And the film’s domestic run is already fading fast. After 43 days in theaters, it’s down to just 289 screens and pulled in only $85k on its eighth Friday, a 61.6% drop from the previous week. That’s not a hold. That’s a slow fade.

It’s no longer in the top 10 globally. The momentum’s gone. The question now isn’t whether it’ll beat The Red Door for first place. It’s whether it’ll even make the final cut in the franchise’s legacy.

Directed by Jacob Chase, Out of the Further opened on August 21 with a premise that leaned into emotional stakes: a mother discovering she can pull demons back from The Further. But audiences didn’t stay long. The film’s $20 million gap from topping the series chart feels less like ambition and more like a missed opportunity.

The franchise’s crown remains unclaimed. For now. The next few days will tell if this ghost story gets a second life, or just another footnote.
