"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’s" reign at the top of the box office was short-lived, thanks to horror sequel, "Insidious: The Red Door."
The horror film starring and directed by Patrick Wilson earned $32.7 million in ticket sales from 3,188 theaters, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," starring Harrison Ford in his final turn as the iconic character, fell 56% to take second place with $26.5 million, while third place went to Angel Studios "Sound of Freedom," starring Jim Caviezel.
The fifth installment in the horror franchise did better than "Insidious: The Last Key," from 2018 and is the most any PG-13 horror movie has earned in its debut in the past two years.

The third place film, "Sound of Freedom," was made and distributed by Angel Studios, a faith-based, crowdfunded operation, and earned an estimated $18.2 million from 2,850 theaters.
