Friday's box office charts see Insidious: The Red Door thrive in previews, while Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny holds steady into the weekend.
Friday's box office takings see Insidious: The Red Door score big throughout Thursday previews, as Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny holds steady into its second weekend in theaters. The fifth and currently final entry in the Insidious franchise has Patrick Wilson both direct and return as Josh Lambert, as the demons who haunted his family return to terrify him and his loved ones.
With both franchises seeing their fifth and final installments hit theaters at the same time during the weekend of July 7, The Hollywood Reporter has offered insight into how both Insidious: The Red Door and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny are fairing at the box office. During Thursday night previews, Insidious: The Red Door took home an impressive $5 million upon its release. Meanwhile, Dial of Destiny took home a further $5.

However, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny still faces a difficult time at the box office, as the movie's performance struggles to live up to its staggering reported budget of $295 million. Internationally, the film has taken home an estimated $70 million, bringing its worldwide gross to roughly $160, only just over half of its production costs alone.
While Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny's steady takings is a more optimistic outcome than earlier box office projections, it is likely that Insidious: The Red Door will see more success in the coming weekend's box office. While Dial of Destiny's budget creates a steep hurdle for the movie to leap, a lack of horror competition and Blumhouse's much lower production costs ensure the horror conclusion will be considered a financial success.
