The film was released in the United States on January 5, 2018, by Universal Pictures. It grossed $167 million worldwide, the highest of the franchise, and received mixed reviews, with praise for Shaye's performance but some critics stating that the franchise had run its course. Insidious: The Red Door was released on July 7, 2023, continuing the storyline of the first two films.
