Hello? Black Phone 2 called and they wanted to let you know that it is the No. 1 movie at the box office this weekend. The sequel horror film from Blumhouse Productions earned $26.5 million during its opening weekend, dethroning Tron: Ares , which premiered last weekend, and already outperformed Blumhouse’s last theatrical release M3GAN 2.0 ’s entire box office run. The people yearn for the phone. Compared to the franchise’s first film, BP2 had already outperformed the original 2021 film’s opening weekend by $3 million. However, if this film is anything like its predecessor, its box office will hopefully grow as word of mouth spreads — by the end of Black Phone 1 ’s domestic run, it earned $90 million total.

Blumhouse has two more releases coming out later this year
