Paramount is looking for happy results when their horror sequel Smile 2 opens wide on October 18th. Parker Finn is back in the director’s seat two years after helming the original. Naomi Scott, Rosemarie DeWitt, Kyle Gallner, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Raul Castillo, Dylan Gelula, and Ray Nicholson are among the cast.
Back in 2022, Smile turned into an unexpected blockbuster. With a reported price tag of only $17 million, it earned $105 million domestically and another $110M+ elsewhere. A sequel was rapidly commissioned.
With an advantageous October release date and goodwill left over from part 1, Smile 2 could outdo the $22.6 million that its predecessor began with. Whether it eventually reaches the nine digit stateside take of Smile may depend on its quality.
