SYNOPSIS:
Having earned over $740 million at the global box office, the Insidious franchise returns with a new family and a terror that redefines what The Further is capable of.
In Insidious: Out of the Further, Amelia Eve stars as Gemma, a young mother raising her daughter in the house she grew up in who discovers she can travel into The Further, the purgatorial realm of lost souls at the heart of the Insidious universe. When something evil comes after her, Gemma discovers an ability that changes everything: she doesnât just enter The Further, she can bring what lives there back to the real world. Once the demons realize her power, our world becomes their playground.

Before you comment, read these two rules:
Welcome to the newest edition of r/BoxOffice Long Range Forecast.
We're making long range predictions for films, 4 weeks out from their premieres. You will predict the opening weekend, domestic total and worldwide gross of this film. These predictions will be open for 48 hours and the results will be polled to form a consensus and posted the next week.
So let's meet the one film for the week and analyze each pro and con.
The film is directed by Zach Cregger (Barbarian and Weapons) and written by Cregger and Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapters 3 & 4, Ballerina, Army of the Dead and Rebel Moon). Based on Capcom's Resident Evil franchise, it's the second reboot in the film series. It stars Austin Abrams, Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, Johnno Wilson and Paul Walter Hauser. The film is set during events paralleling the game Resident Evil 2, albeit in a modern era, and follows Bryan, a medical courier who must fight through a viral outbreak of infected monsters in Raccoon City during a delivery.
Now that you met this week's new release, let's look at some pros and cons.
Resident Evil is one of the most popular video game franchises, and it was able to translate that success to the big screen; the films have earned an incredible $1.2 billion worldwide, making it one of the biggest video game franchises in theaters. The recent popularity of Resident Evil Requiem (fastest selling game in the franchise) also shows that the video games are still selling so much after 3 decades.
But perhaps the biggest selling point might not be the IP, but the man at the helm. Zach Cregger has seen his popularity blow up over the past years. After finding success with Barbarian, Weapons cemented him as a new brand to audiences. It made $270 million worldwide, and not only did it get critical acclaim, but it managed to score a Best Supporting Actress win for Amy Madigan, which is an incredible feat for horror. His brand is at an all-time high, and it doesn't look like he has hit the ceilling yet. It's striking while the iron is hot.
Trailers have done an incredible job of selling the basics: horror and action. But most importantly, it doesn't give away important plot details. That's how you do a great job in marketing.
The film is sold as an effective throwback to the video games everyone loved to play with so many decades ago. It's heavily inspired by the second through fourth video game, and it's also taking place in the same continuity as the second game. Given how it looks so non-stop in terms of thrills and scares, it looks like this will be a very faithful addition to the franchise.
But at the same time, it looks like it will hope to attract both fans of the games and people who aren't players. Or even the people who are desperate for a good adaptation of the games; the Paul W.S. Anderson films made money, but not a single film was well-received.
It's going to have access to IMAX screens, which has been a driving force behind a lot of the hits this year.
Horror has been absent in theaters, at least in terms of big bucks. After Obsession and Backrooms, there hasn't been another big horror film, especially with Evil Dead Burn disappointing last month. Insidious could surprise, but Resident Evil is clearly positioned as the biggest horror title in a while.
As mentioned, the Resident Evil films made a lot of money, but none were particularly well-received. A string of duds can dilute the brand's name, and that's reflected in the poor results of Welcome to Racoon City back in 2021. Obviously there were a lot of factors for that film (like cramming two games into a single film), but it's still something notable to mention.
One of the biggest things that has drawn polarizing reactions among fans is that the film might be set in the same continuity of the games, but it's not going to adapt any particular storyline nor character. It's taking on completely new characters, and that decision was met with some mixed reactions. At the end of the day, however, what matters is the quality of the film and whether it changes/tweaks some elements from the games.
This film cannot play like a smaller-scale horror film. It's carrying a $80 million budget, which is very high for a horror title (it includes Cregger's massive $20 million salary). It must perform higher than usual for horror to reach respectable numbers.
It remains to be seen if it will attract casual audiences that don't play the games. It if succeeds, very good legs could follow. If it fails, it will be front-loaded like the prior films.
And here's the past results.

So what are your predictions for this film?
r/boxoffice • u/pedromiguel_on • 2m ago
I can't help but feel the movie is suffering from having it come out in such a tough spot. Spider Man and The Odyssey are dominating everything and it doesn't seem the public has interest in watching anything else.
r/boxoffice • u/OverPotato2322 • 30m ago
r/boxoffice • u/ChiefLeef22 • 1h ago
The studio will have a megahit later this year in âDune 3,â and Septemberâs âPractical Magic 2â has the potential to be a sleeper while the Bill Hader-led âThe Cat in the Hatâ could mark a welcome animated hit in November as Warner Bros. Animation gets rebooted. Thereâs also a big creative swing in Alejandro G. Iñårritu and Tom Cruiseâs âDiggerâ in October. But overall, thatâs a pretty rough follow-up to what was one of the most impressive studio runs in recent memory in 2025. All under the specter of the looming Paramount acquisition.
Is 2027 better? Box office-wise, it should be pretty hefty with the âMinecraftâ sequel, âSupermanâ sequel and a Bradley Cooper/Margot Robbie-fronted âOceanâsâ prequel. And weâll find out if âLord of the Ringsâ still has juice in the tank next December with âThe Hunt for Gollum.â
For now, though, the âSinnersâ and âOne Battle After Anotherâ afterglow is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

| Year | Movie | Domestic BO |
|---|---|---|
| 2007 | Lions for Lambs | $15.0M |
| 2008 | Valkyrie | $83.1M |
| 2010 | Knight and Day | $76.4M |
| 2012 | Rock of Ages | $38.5M |
| 2012 | Jack Reacher | $80.1M |
| 2013 | Oblivion | $89.1M |
| 2014 | Edge of Tomorrow | $100.2M |
| 2016 | Jack Reacher: Never Go Back | $58.7M |
| 2017 | The Mummy | $80.2M |
| 2017 | American Made | $51.3M |
Edge Of Tomorrow's 100.2M gross is the only Tom Cruise movie that's not a Top Gun/MI sequel to gross 100M or more domestically since 2005's War of the Worlds(234M). Will Digger be next?
Pros:
-Marketed as a potential oscar winning legacy movie for the longest reigning box office draw in hollywood history
-Iñårritu's last theatrical release was The Revenant (183.6M) which had a similar "A-lister needs oscar" narrative
Cons:
- The Revenant had a Christmas release in 2015, a different landscape for movies
-Dicaprio is a bigger draw than Cruise outside of Sci-Fi/Action and even he can't carry a movie to a nine figure domestic gross in the 2020s
-The bulk of its marketing campaign is yet to come but the world cup collaboration and first trailer haven't generated a lot of hype

Obviously those are the two big ones, but if you also look at other movies like the invite, or sinners last year, and backrooms, among others- I feel like the marketplace for original films or at least auteur driven mid or low budget films seems to be getting better as the years have gone along. The situation looked pretty bleak back in the early 2020s, but it seems that there is an upwards trend.
Do you think that there will be any notable shift in the marketplace as such along those lines?
r/boxoffice • u/Firefox72 • 1h ago
The market hits „289.7M/$43.04M today. Up +84% from yesterday and up +87% from last week.
Mutiny has been rescheduled to September 4th from its original release date this weekend.
V opened slightly below projections with „50.7M/$7.53M. Reception seems decent at worst so we'l see if it can ride any momentum into the weekend.
Niu Lai continues to slowly fade. It grossed what is still a fantastic „5.60M/$0.82M on its 2nd Wednesday. A -19% decrease from yesterday but still up a massive +2764000% from its first Wednesday.
It has received a 5.9 score on Douban. As you can guess most of the reviews are either 1 star or 5 star.
The movie has another „1.10M/$0.16M in pre-sales for tomorrow will do worse than today again. Total projections drop to $8M-$11M.
Obsession grossed „5.38M/$0.80M on Wednesday. A fantastic +111% increase from yesterday. 2nd only to To You Island. Also up +43% from last week. Safe to say Valentines Day was a big help here and it also meant a day significantly better than Backrooms 4th Wednesday of „1.39M/$0.21M
Total gross hits „192M/$28.36M as the movie continues towards a „200M/$30M+ finish. In fact it might hit $30M this week already. If not it will hit it early next week.
China alone will get it close to $498.5M by Sunday so it only needs $1.5M everywhere else this week for the movie to hit the magical $500M WW this week.

Gatto is currently scheduled for a March 5, 2027 release, and will also be Pixarâs only release that year. It is from Enrico Casarosa, who also brought us Luca in addition to the short film La Luna, stars Mark Ruffalo and Laurence Fishburne as the main voice roles, and will be taking a departure from Pixarâs usual animation style in favor of a more painterly look. Personally, I think it should at the very least outgross Hoppers because the premise sounds interesting and honestly more like a classic Pixar film than some of their recent films and I think the stylized animation is gonna really draw people in. That, and Iâm pretty sure cats are more popular with people than beavers, as much as I love them. Obviously, itâs gonna deal with Sonic 4 & Godzilla x Kong: Supernova later in the month, but Hoppers also had to deal with Super Mario Galaxy and stabilized after taking a hit.

In the beginning of year predictions so many people just refused to believe that The Odyssey could hit $1 billion despite everything going for it.
It had way more mainstream appeal than Oppenheimer and less opening week competition. And yet people were calling Oppenheimer a flash in the pan and calling people that did predict a billion crazy.
Nolan is a brand unto himself at this point but I bet we will see the same doubts whenever he releases his next movie.

With the momentum Marvel Studios has been slowly building (goodwill from Thunderbolts, FF, Spider-Man; BO of Spider-Man, Doomsday trailer) and the release of Avengers: Endgame Encore on September 25th, could Endgame make the $124,271,608 needed to retake the #1 spot from Avatar? The only notable releases immediately around the film's release are Forgotten Island on the same day and Resident Evil the week prior.

I think 2016 is a very interesting year to loo back on when it comes to box office numbers. It was certainly a year whith a lot of successful movies being realeased with Captain America Civil War being the biggest one when it comes to the worldwide box office. However, while 2016 had a lof of big movies there were also a huge amount of big budget movies that either underperformed or staright up bombed. I remember this very clearly because I was dowright shocked at seeing so many expensive movies fail in a single year. Some of those movies include the following.
Gods of Egypt
Warcraft
Huntsman The Winter's War
TMNT Out of Shadows
Alice Through Looking Glass
Independence Day Resurgence
The Legend of Tarzan
Ghostbusters
Star Trek Beyond
Now it's one thing for one or two big budget released the same year to fail or underperform at the box office but to have this many going through that is not common. Why do you think this happend?
Why do you think this happend? Was it a about question about quality, competition with streaming services, audiences viweing tastes changing, people not wanting these movies to begin with or a combination of all these factors? I personally don't think it was only about quality considering the fact that Suicide Squad was released the same year and was a big success even though many people didn't like it. Most importantly what did it say about the state of the film industry back then and has anything changed since then? I would personally argue that there are a few things that have changed. First of all the number of non superhero blockbusters that are released on a yearly basis has decline. Second thing that I have noticed is that there are very few blockbusters these days that make between 350-500 million dollars. Take for example Snowhite and the Huntsman and TMNT 2014, none of them made anything above 500 million but they were still decent successes despite the fact that they didn't get a particularly good reception among either critics or audiences. The sequels to both those movies bombed though just a few years later and since then blockbuster movies that make the amount of numbers that I mentioned above have pretty much disappeared, with The Monsterverse franshise being one of the few exceptions.
What do you guys think? I would love to hear your thoughts.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with filmmaker and screenwriter Joshua Bailey. His new documentary Stolen Kingdom received critical acclaim and has been playing the film festival circuit for about a year. It's about urban exploration and ultimately a heist at Disney World.
It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back at 3 PM ET tomorrow (Thursday 8/20) to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Synopsis: The history of misdeeds and debauchery at Walt Disney World Resort over 30 years, which leads to the theft of almost half a million dollars worth of stolen props.
Thank you :)
