The horror flick Insidious: The Red Door debuted atop the chart of the 10 most-popular films on Fandango’s transactional digital service Vudu the week ended Aug. 6.

Newly available for premium digital rental and sale, the fifth installment in the horror franchise, from Sony/Screen Gems, features original cast members Patrick Wilson (who also directs), Rose Byrne, Andrew Astor and Ty Simpkins.

Falling from the top spot to No. 2 on the chart was Disney’s live-action remake The Little Mermaid , which debuted for digital purchase July 25. A reimagining of Disney’s animated musical classic, it follows Ariel (Halle Bailey), a young mermaid with a thirst for adventure who falls for the human Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King). While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, she makes a deal with the evil sea witch Ursula (Melissa McCarthy), which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life — and her father’s crown — in jeopardy. 

Falling from No. 2 to No.3 on the chart was Warner Bros.’ The Flash. Ezra Miller returns as The Flash/Barry Allen in the DC superhero’s first-ever standalone feature film, which debuted for premium digital sale and rental on July 18. In the film, worlds collide when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past.

Dropping No. 3 to No. 4 on the chart was Paramount’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. The seventh live-action film in the “Transformers” franchise based on the Hasbro toy line, the sci-fi actioner is available for regular digital purchase and newly available for regular digital rental.
