hugely disappointing opening weekend overseas in China.
However, it also speaks to the success of Sony's Jumanji update, which is delivering some of the best numbers in the careers of its stars. Insidious 4, meanwhile, looks to capitalize on weekend school closures for younger audiences amid massive winter storms. That's in addition to the typically strong market for horror movies around the holidays, which Blumhouse Pictures has reaped the rewards for in recent years. The early numbers indicate that Insidious 4 will exceed expectations - and knock The Last Jedi down the list in the process.

As reported by early projections of $15-18 million and land in second with $25 million from 3,116 locations.
Mama ($28.4 million).
Jumanji, on the other hand, will run its domestic total to $244.7 million and become the highest-grossing movie in the careers of both Kevin Hart and Jack Black. It's also the third-best total of Dwayne Johnson's career, behind only Moana ($248.7 million). Ultimately, all three movies can already call themselves legitimate box office successes.
Despite the huge $572.8 million domestic total for its biggest tentpole of 2017, Disney can't be pleased that The Last Jedi is already dropping to third place. But with Insidious: The Last Key drawing mostly poor reviews, there's a chance that The Last Jedi could retake second behind Jumanji in weekend No. 5 and continue to run up its undoubtedly impressive totals, even for a Star Wars movie.
