Black Phone 2 Rings Up Box Office Success, Poised to Surpass Predecessor

As of October 27, 2025, the horror sequel Black Phone 2 has been making waves at the box office. The film, which sees the return of Ethan Hawke as the chilling serial killer known as The Grabber, has already collected $80.4 million globally, putting it on track to surpass the $161.4 million worldwide gross of its 2022 predecessor.

In its second weekend, Black Phone 2 dropped to the #2 spot, largely due to the release of Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc in North America. However, the sequel still managed to rake in $13 million domestically, a 52.4% drop from its opening weekend. With a total of $49.05 million in the US and Canada, the film narrowly missed the $50 million mark.

Internationally, the sequel has been a bit slower, accounting for 39% of the worldwide total so far. But the film is expected to hit the $100 million milestone in its third weekend, cementing its status as a box office success.
