When it originally opened in early July, it nabbed the top launch for a horror title since 2019 internationally. Domestically, it bowed at No. 1, higher than the last installment’s opening weekend (2018’s Insidious: The Last Key) making it the second best launch weekend in the franchise’s history behind Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) and the top opening for a PG-13 horror film in the last two years. At the time, Anthony did a deep dive on how Sony resurrected its horror track record with the opening – check it out here.

The Red Door notably had a white-hot run in Southeast Asia and is the highest grossing horror movie of all time in the Philippines. When it bowed there, it scored a record as the highest horror opening weekend ever and biggest opening weekend of the last year. Elsewhere, in Mexico at open, it marked Sony’s biggest ever horror launch in the market.

The Top 5 offshore markets are Mexico ($13.8M), the UK ($10M), the Philippines ($6.9M), Indonesia ($6.1M) and France ($5M).
