INSIDIOUS 3 is officially in development
Following a great September opening weekend for INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2 it seems obvious that the next logical step is another sequel.
If the ending of INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2 wasn't clear enough. FilmDistrict, eOne and Sony Pictures announced today that there is now going to be an INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 3.
Together the films have grossed over $100 million and have a combined budget of only $6.5 million. It's cheap to make and brings loads of cash, so it's understandable why the filmmakers want this franchise to continue.
Even though James Wan (the Conjuring, Insidious) is clearly not returning for this film with his recent statements saying he's "done with the horror genre" -- Leigh Whannel is signed on to write INSIDIOUS 3, some even pushing for him to direct.
It's not certain where they plan to take this franchise, we can only hope it doesn't end up like Saw -- pumping out sequel after sequel just for the money.
INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2 opened in theatres on Sept 13 2013
