Black Phone 2 completed its second weekend with impressive box office numbers. The film is the sequel to The Black Phone and is already halfway to surpassing its predecessor worldwide. It has the potential to become the highest-grossing film in the franchise. Keep scrolling for more.
The sequel sees Ethan Hawke return as the menacing serial killer known as The Grabber and is poised to cash in on the Halloween hype. Frontlined by Mason Thames, the film marks a busy phase for the young star, who also headlines How to Train Your Dragon and Regretting You this year, in addition to this spine-tingling horror outing.
How much has the horror sequel earned so far at the worldwide box office?
The Black Phone sequel just dropped to #2 in its second weekend, and that too because of Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc‘s release in North America. According to Box Office Mojo’s report, Black Phone 2 collected $13 million on its second weekend at the domestic box office, a drop of 52.4% from its opening weekend. It also gained 49 theaters more in North America, bringing the domestic total to $49.05 million. It missed the $50 million mark by a whisker.
Internationally, the film is a bit slow and has earned 39% of the worldwide total. Allied to the $49.05 million domestic gross, the global collection in the movie has hit the $80.4 million cume. It is on track to hit the $100 million milestone in its third weekend. The horror movie is already a box office success.
Box office summary of the film
