On track to beat the OG Final Destination movie’s global haul!
The Black Phone Sequel is on track to beat the OG Final Destination film at the worldwide box office. The original Final Destination is a cult classic that set a high standard for supernatural horror at the box office. It was released in 2000 and was one of the genre’s biggest breakout hits of its era. The film collected $112.8 million at the worldwide box office, and The Black Phone sequel is less than $10 million away from beating this cult classic. It will mark Black Phone 2 as a modern genre success that can stand alongside early-2000s horror staples.
Therefore, beating Final Destination would not just be about numbers, but a symbolic passing of the torch from a classic millennium horror franchise to a modern one, defining the current decade.
Directed by Scott Derrickson, Black Phone 2 was released on October 17. It features Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, and Jeremy Davies in the key roles.
