Black Phone 3: Is there a new continuation of the saga?

After appearing in theaters in 2022, where he emerged from the pages of the story of Joe Hill (son of Stephen King), in which he was born eighteen years earlier, the seeker played by Ethan Hawke had no future on the big screen, and we refer you to the summary of the film to learn more if these few words do not seem to you. But the bogeyman finally made a comeback with Black Phone 2, which hit theaters on October 15 and two days later in the US, where it topped the box office, doing slightly better than its predecessor.

Like three years ago, the end of the story seems to close all the doors leading to a possible sequel, but you should never say never. Especially in the world of horror, where the dead can come and haunt the dreams of the living, like Freddy Krueger, and where success can help the story continue.

“All I can say about my view on sequels is that there’s absolutely no justification for making them unless you’re honestly trying to make a movie that’s better than the one you want to make a sequel to.”Director Scott Derrickson answers DiversityWhen the media asked him about the possibility of a Black phone 3 In which a seeker or a big bad guy close to his path attacks another family.

Continuation on one condition

“If you have to make a third episode, it has to be better than the second one, which is better than the first one. And it’s a bit of a movie. When we look at the history of cinema, I think it’s a trilogy. evil dead from Sam Raimi and the living dead George A. Romero They are the only two that consist of three main films and evolve from one opus to the next. What’s important to me when discussing ideas is not to repeat things and not give the impression that we’re adding a new rule about the seeker and doing the same thing over and over again. That’s the only thing I couldn’t do.”

Made for around $30 million (compared to the first part’s $16 to $18), Black Phone 2 has already earned $41 million worldwide, including $27 on American soil alone, and appears to be well on its way to success, even if there’s no telling if it’ll beat its predecessor’s tally ($90 million, $6 million). So we may not have heard the last of the seeker if a good idea comes along.
