Indiana Jones' reign atop the box office was short-lived. In its second weekend in theatres, the Disney release was usurped by another franchise fifth -- "Insidious: The Red Door." The horror film starring and directed by Patrick Wilson scared up US$32.7 million in ticket sales from 3,188 theatres, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
"Insidious 5" was not well reviewed -- but modestly budgeted scary movies are often critic-proof when it comes to the box office. This Blumhouse-produced franchise starring Wilson and Rose Byrne began in 2011 under the direction of James Wan and has been responsible for over $570 million in global box office returns -- and none of the films have cost more than $16 million to produce.
"Indiana Jones 5" took second place in its second weekend with $26.5 million in North America , bringing its domestic total to $121.2 million. Globally it's earned an estimated $247.9 million. The modestly budgeted Lionsgate release got rave reviews out of the South by Southwest Film Festival and maintains a 91 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but it didn't motivate big crowds this weekend. Those that did go gave it a B- CinemaScore, suggesting the movie did not meet expectations, which can sometimes be because of how the film was marketed. The hope is that word-of-mouth might help "Joy Ride" in the coming weeks.
