Black Phone 2 Nears Horror Box Office Milestone

Black Phone 2 is making waves at the box office, inching closer to surpassing the domestic earnings of the iconic 2003 slasher film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. With its current domestic total at $75.38 million after 35 days, the sequel is just over $5 million away from this benchmark.

This impressive performance, with earnings exceeding $100 million worldwide against a budget under $10 million, positions Black Phone 2 as a major success story in the horror genre. It is also on track to enter the all-time top 50 highest-grossing horror films domestically.

Directed by Scott Derrickson, the film features a strong cast including Ethan Hawke. Its continued success highlights the enduring appeal of original horror concepts and their potential for significant box office returns, especially when compared to established franchises.
