Synopsis
As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, the headstrong 15-year-old Gwen begins receiving calls in her dreams from the black phone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp known as Alpine Lake. Determined to solve the mystery and end the torment for both her and her brother, Gwen persuades Finn to visit the camp during a winter storm. There, she uncovers a shattering intersection between The Grabber and her own family’s history. Together, she and Finn must confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death and more significant to them than either could imagine.

Halloween weekend is generally not a great time to release a movie, with the key movie-going demographics either trick-or-treating or partying. With Halloween falling on Friday this year, and none of the movies currently in theaters performing particularly well, we’re looking at very quiet movie theaters this weekend. Horror movie Black Phone 2 looks like the favorite to win the weekend, with less than $10 million.

Another anime movie looks set to rock the box office this weekend, with our model predicting a comfortable win for Chainsaw Man—The Movie: Reze Arc. The dramas Regretting You and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere are set to do battle with Black Phone 2 for second place.

Black Phone 2 will top the chart at the box office this weekend, not because of a particularly great opening, but more due to the weak performance of Tron: Ares, which is likely to struggle to top $10 million in its second outing. New releases look likely to earn over $30 million between them, which means we could yet squeak out a market win over last weekend and this weekend last year, when Smile 2 opened with $23 million.
