Now playing below — our HELLO FROM HOLLYWOOD early look at Universal/Blumhouse Productions’ horror thriller BLACK PHONE 2, opening in theatres 10/17/25. Blumhouse may have a BLACK EYE from M3GAN 2.0, but BLACK PHONE 2 should be a lively winner for Team Universal/Blumhouse and a mid-fall boxoffice booster for exhibitors.

The franchise’s first episode opened 6/24/22 and did $161.4M worldwide on a production budget of $18M. In BP2, directed by Scott Derrickson (THE BLACK PHONE), Ethan Hawke returns as The Grabber, seeking vengeance from beyond the grave — and now the phone is ringing again!
