Austin Butler's "Caught Stealing" Sets 2025 Release, "Insidious 6" Pushed Back to August 2026

Sony Pictures Sony has given the August 29 release date originally set for “Insidious 6″ to the Darren Aronofsky-directed "Caught Stealing", starring Austin Butler.

The next “Insidious” entry has been pushed nearly a year, to August 21, 2026.

The next installment of the Blumhouse Productions horror property, co-produced by Screen Gems, was confirmed to be in the works in May 2024. 

No further details were shared at the time. 

The latest “Insidious” film, “The Red Door,” saw series star Patrick Wilson return and also make his feature directorial debut. 

It was released July 7, 2023, and grossed $189 million worldwide against a $16 million budget.

The incoming entry is different from “Thread: An Insidious Tale,” an in-universe series spin-off that was first announced in May 2023 and is said to star Mandy Moore and Kumail Nanjiani, with Jeremy Slater attached to write and direct.

Barring no other “Insidious” installments releasing before this newly announced one, this would mark the sixth entry in the horror franchise and the first since “Insidious: The Red Door,”. 

Since launching in 2010 with director James Wan, the “Insidious” franchise has collectively grossed more than $730 million globally. 

While the franchise has played musical chairs over the years with distributors, moving from FilmDistrict to Focus Features to Universal to Sony, Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions has been behind every installment, co-producing with various other production banners. 

Screen Gems returns for the newly announced feature entry after joining “Insidious: The Red Door.”

Ahead of the release of “The Red Door,” Blum gave an interview with DiscussingFilm in which he teased a lengthy hiatus for the franchise, saying that that fifth entry “Is going to be the last we’re going to see of ‘Insidious’ for a while” and that “It may not be a forever rest, but it’s certainly going to be a very long rest. … There’s not a plan — as there has been with every prior ‘Insidious’ movie — there’s no current plan in place for number six.”

In the release moves, Sony also announced that an untitled Marvel film, originally set for a June 27 premiere, has been removed from the release calendar. 

The decision comes after their “Spider-Man” spinoff “Kraven the Hunter” bombed.

It was released on December 12 and grossed $61 million worldwide against a budget north of $110 million.
