Insidious 5 Release Date Officially Announced
After a five-year absence from the big screen, Sony has officially revealed the Insidious 5 release date. The horror franchise first kicked off in 2011 with the eponymous hit from Saw duo James Wan and Leigh Whannell, with the former directing the first two installments and the latter penning all four films and directing the third. The first two Insidious films centered on the Lambert family as they come under attack from supernatural forces trying to possess eldest son Lambert and his father Josh, who have the ability to astral project into a dimension dubbed «The Further,» while the latter two installments centered on Lin Shaye's Elise Rainier in the lead up to her death in the first Insidious.
Though reviews have been generally mixed across all four films, the Insidious franchise has been a fan-favorite since its launch in 2011, with the original film having grossed over $97 million against its $1.5 million budget and helping further propel Blumhouse Productions to further popularity. Subsequent Insidious sequels proved to be even greater box office successes, grossing a combined $442 million against a combined $25 million production budget. After a few years of silence, it was confirmed that Insidious 5 was in development at the studios with Patrick Wilson and Ty Simpkins returning to star and now audiences are getting exciting news about the horror sequel.
