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. Whannell has written both INSIDIOUS and INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2 which just had a stellar first weekend release in North America debuting to more than $40 million at the box office making it one of the largest horror genre openings ever and one of the biggest openings for a film released in the month of September. Jason Blum and his Blumhouse Productions, which produced both INSIDIOUS and INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2, is producing the next installment along with Oren Peli. Steven Schneider, Brian Kavanaugh Jones, Peter Schlessel, Lia Buman and Xavier Marchand are executive producing."
