Following Insidious Chapter 2's impressive opening weekend at the box office, another sequel was given the green light right away. We're still waiting to find out who will be involved, but an Insidious Chapter 3 release date has been officially announced.
Insidious Chapter 3 will be released on April 3rd, 2015 and will be distributed in the US by Focus Features. While release dates may shift between now and then, The Weinstein Company currently has Keanu Reeves' Passengers scheduled for the same date.
There's still no mention of James Wan's return, but Leigh Whannell has signed on to write the new script. Here's the previous announcement:
"Los Angeles September 16, 2013 – Entertainment One (eOne), FilmDistrict, and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions (SPWA) announced today that together they will be developing the third chapter of the micro-budgeted INSIDIOUS film franchise which Leigh Whannell has signed on to write.
