The international trailer (cut by Sony) is better.

The distribution on the Insidious movies is weird, why do different company's keep releasing them?

Filmdistrict went out of business after Chapter 2, so Universal got the domestic rights while Sony has overseas and home video. This time Universal decided to release it under the main banner instead of Focus.

FilmDistrict shut down, so Focus released the 3rd one, and then I assume they wanted a major studio for the 4th one so they got Universal for this one instead.

[WrathOfHan]

The whole Focus to Universal swap isn't new. Fifty Shades of Grey was originally going to be Focus but changed to Universal in later trailers, and Atomic Blonde was likely close to being released under the Universal banner based on trailer mix codings.

The Sony trailer is absolutely bizarre, especially the final scene.

On October 2, 2013, it was announced that Peter Schlessel would be replacing James Schamus as CEO of Focus Features effective January 2014, and FilmDistrict was shut down as a distributor. Future FilmDistrict titles will be absorbed and released under Focus Features, the first being That Awkward Moment.[12] FilmDistrict's last film is Paul W. S. Anderson's Pompeii, which the company produced and financed with German-based Constantin Film. TriStar Pictures handled the U.S. distribution. High Top Releasing later co-released Eli Roth's The Green Inferno with Blumhouse Tilt.

Hard to believe this is out in a few weeks, buzz seems low for it. I kind of feel Universal / Blumhouse Don’t have faith in it since they yanked it out of its October release and dumped it first week of January.

[Boxofficerules]

This opens next week.

LMAO. Saw an ad for this the other day and I was like "huh didn't even know this was happening"

[DAJK]

Really liked 2 out of the other 3, so I hope this one's good.

 

Regardless, they dropped the ball with marketing. Can't see it doing more than 13/30

They should make a part 4 and call it 'Elise".  Kind of how they should have titled Jigsaw just 'John'.  I bet Jigsaw's domestic total would have happened on its OW, had it been titled 'John'.

So another prequel? Some people are really regretting killing Lin Shaye off at the end of Insidious one.

What a fall from grace this franchise suffered. Went from breaking opening records to...... being probably a gigantic dumpjob at the beginning of January. Way to go, Insidious. (Unsurprisingly, it lost whatever popularity it had when James Wan left the franchise - and even Wan himself played a part in the diminshing returns due to the suckage of Insidious 2).

 

Best case scenario: this gets... acceptable wom (kinda like the third one did, if I recall correctly) and does 35-40M.

Oh my fucking god ads in front every YouTube video. Fucking bullshit

I dont think people are rushing to make sure they get their tickets early for Insidious: The Last Key. As usual with these kinds of movies, walk-ups will drive it.

 

That being said, I'm going to see this on opening day after work because...why not? I've never been to the theatre to see the first movie that opens the year before. That and I actually wouldn't mind seeing it. I like the series, even if 3 wasn't great.

[WrathOfHan]

A lot of theaters still don't have shows up FWIW

[That One Girl]

This is going under the first Insidious film's OW.

It won't go that low, IMO. I can see it doing 15M OW like The Woman in Black 2.

 

Lowest I can see is what UW5 and RE6 did last year.
