As of November 2, 2025, the horror sequel Black Phone 2 is poised to dominate the box office this Halloween weekend. The film, directed by Scott Derrickson and featuring a cast led by Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, and Madeleine McGraw, has been steadily gaining momentum since its release.
On its third Friday, Black Phone 2 collected $2.39 million at the North American box office, a 37.7% drop from the previous week's $3.8 million. However, this decline has not dampened the film's prospects, as it is expected to emerge as the top-grossing movie over the weekend.
The Black Phone sequel is now less than $3 million away from surpassing the domestic box office haul of Ballerina, a spin-off within the John Wick franchise featuring Ana de Armas in the lead role. Ballerina has earned $58.05 million in the domestic market to date.
Black Phone 2 is poised to cross the $100 million milestone at the worldwide box office, a significant achievement considering its $30 million budget. The film's financial success is a testament to its captivating storyline, which follows Finn, now 17, as he struggles to rebuild his life after the trauma of his captivity, while his sister begins receiving mysterious calls and witnessing chilling visions.
