Fox Searchlight looks for horror fans to make a return engagement with Ready or Not 2: Here I Come on March 20th. Combining laughs with gore, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett return to this scary franchise after making a detour rebooting the Scream series. Samara Weaving is back headlining with a new supporting cast including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, David Cronenberg (!), and Elijah Wood.
Back in late summer 2019, the eat the rich first edition made $8 million in its opening frame ($11 million over the five-day as it debuted on a Wednesday). It held up decently for its genre with $28 million domestically. I’m a little unsure if audiences are clamoring for a sequel. Unlike the recent Scream 7, I don’t look for this to exceed expectations.
I’ll say this gets beyond $10 million for starters though not by much.
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come opening weekend prediction: $11.2 million
