Sequel Talks Are Already Underway For 'THE BLACK PHONE'

Now that The Black Phone is available on VOD, Blu-ray, and streaming exclusively on Peacock, the box office was kind to Scott Derrickson’s film and pulled in a respectable $152.8 million worldwide this year. The budget for the film was only $18 million so its pretty evident that the Joe Hill adaption did a KILLER job for Universal and Blumhouse. So why not a sequel?

Derrickson tells ComicBook.com, “There’s already a lot of conversation, a lot of pressure being put on it. I mean, the movie cost $18 million, and it’s going to ultimately make probably $160-170 million worldwide. So they want another one. Of course, they do.”

Universal and Blumhouse may want a sequel pretty fast but what does Derrickson have to say in regards to the ideas for the story of the sequel?

“Joe Hill pitched me a wonderful idea for a sequel to Black Phone that, if this movie does well, I’m gonna do it. He’s got a great idea, I really liked it,” Derrickson told the site back in June. “Joe’s very protective and personal about his material, but he came to me with the idea and I was like, ‘That’s how you do a sequel to Black Phone. That’s terrific.'”
