Blumhouse horror sensation Black Phone 2 has delivered another strong weekend at the box office, both in the United States and across the world.

Black Phone 2 Box Office Summary: Strong Overseas & Domestic Numbers Continue

The slasher marks the return of Mason Thames, Ethan Hawke, and Madeleine McGraw and has so far earned more than $127.7 million worldwide on a budget of $30 million. The movie still trails the first film by close to $34 million, though the steady domestic run and a solid international response have made it the most successful Blumhouse release of the year. The performance has also pushed it into the top 30 highest-grossing movies of the year worldwide, as per Box Office Mojo, which is a strong position for a horror sequel.

Black Phone 2 has collected more than $53 million from 73 overseas markets. The original made $71.3 million, so the sequel still has some distance to cover. In the United States, the movie has grossed $74.6 million, which is lower than the original’s $90.1 million, but the momentum has remained steady through its first month in theaters.
