The sixth Insidious film topped the Friday box office, but Spider-Man: Brand New Day is on track to win the weekend again.

Insidious: Out of the Further grossed $10.6 million on Friday from 3,303 North American theatres, according to Variety. That Friday figure includes $3 million in Thursday previews, as The Hollywood Reporter noted a day earlier. The horror sequel is now expected to open to $23.7 million across the weekend — domestic, meaning the United States and Canada — for producers Blumhouse and distributor Sony.

That debut lands below the franchise's previous entry. Insidious: The Red Door opened to $33 million in 2023. Still, Out of the Further cost just $18 million to produce, a budget that gives the film a clear path to profitability even at the lower opening.

Directed by Jacob Chase, the film follows a young mother who can travel into a dimension called the Further and bring the demons who live there back into the real world. The cast includes Lin Shaye, a franchise mainstay since the 2010 original, alongside Amelia Eve, Island Austin, Sam Spruell, Joseph Lopez, Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Brandon Perea.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Brand New Day settled for second on Friday with $9.8 million but is expected to reclaim the top spot for the weekend with $36.5 million — a roughly 47% decline from the previous weekend. By Sunday, the Sony title is projected to reach a domestic total of about $852 million, cementing its position as the highest-grossing 2026 release in North America, per Box Office Mojo. Worldwide, the film has grossed $2.3 billion.

The Friday top five rounds out with two holdovers and a second newcomer. The Odyssey finished third with $5 million, on its way to an estimated $18 million sixth weekend, pushing its domestic haul to $538 million. Jason Statham's Mutiny landed in fourth with $2.8 million from 2,703 screens and is targeting a $7.4 million opening. Directed by Jean-François Richet, it stars Statham as special-ops agent Cole Reed, with Chaneil Kular, Annabelle Wallis, Ramon Tikaram, Jason Wong and Simon Kluth in supporting roles. The End of Oak Street took fifth with an estimated $2.2 million, on track for an $8 million sophomore weekend — a 62% drop that pushes its North American total to about $37 million.

What stands out in Friday's numbers is the gap between the newcomer's first-day flash and the weekend's likely outcome. Insidious rode strong genre turnout to edge past Spider-Man on Friday, when horror films typically over-index. But family and four-quadrant titles like Brand New Day build momentum across Saturday and Sunday matinees, which is why trade projections had been calling the race for Spider-Man since midweek. Both Sony films, playing exclusively in theatres per the studio's website, are performing roughly as the tracking predicted.
