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

"Falling to bits": Tom Hardy Reveals List of Health Woes from Action Stunts
Yara Sameh Tom Hardy got candid about how his body is past the point of healing after a life spent getting beaten up on movie sets and in real life during martial arts tournaments. The actor is well known for getting physical on screen, be it as Bane in 'The Dark Knight Rises' or as Max Rockatansky in 'Mad Max: Fury Road.' Films such as 'The Revenant,' 'Warrior,' and the 'Venom' trilogy have also gotten Hardy battered over the years. 'I've had two knee surgeries now, my disc's herniated in my back, I've got sciatica as well,' Hardy told Esquire UK. "And I have that… is it plantar fasciitis? Where did that come from? And why? Why?! And I pulled my tendon in my hip as well. It's like, it's all falling to bits now, and it's not going to get better.' Hardy currently stars opposite Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren in the Paramount+ crime series 'MobLand.' He also headlined his latest action movie with Gareth Evans' 'Havoc,' which started streaming on Netflix at the end of April. Hardy's comic book movie days are behind him for now. He debuted as Venom in Sony's 2018 movie, which grossed a huge $856 million at the worldwide box office. He reprised the character in two sequels, 2021's ' Venom: Let There Be Carnage' and 2025's 'Venom: The Last Dance,' the latter of which was billed as Hardy's last outing as the character and grossed $478 million worldwide. 'I loved playing Eddie in 'Venom,'' Hardy told the publication. 'Juggling chainsaws… Put me on a unicycle and throw everything at me! I was just really trying to push myself as much as I could. But I had no Spider-Man! No Avengers! It's just us. Until those bridges are crossed… That's way beyond my control. And I'd love to do that, but that's not even a conversation to have at my level, of just being an actor in that world.' Hardy has been outspoken over the years about wanting to make a movie with Venom facing off against Tom Holland's Spider-Man. He revealed on 'The Discourse Podcast' in March that he 'got as close' as he possibly could to getting a crossover made before talks fell through. 'We played in the Sony counterpoint to Disney's Marvel panoply, of which [Marvel Studios president] Kevin Feige has a huge amount of cards, and Sony has a huge amount of cards in its own right, including Spider-Man, and then there's just no crossover,' Hardy now said. 'We'd love to cross over! That's not happened. That's what happens, and it's one of those things.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War
