Blumhouse founder Jason Blum took to Twitter this weekend to answer fan questions, and while most want to know more about Halloween Ends, the Happy Death Day franchise is still a popular topic.
Back in 2017, Christopher Landon‘s explosively fun Happy Death Day massacred the box office with a whopping $125M, a huge global gross for a low-budget horror film. The sequel Happy Death Day 2U was quickly greenlit and released in 2019. This time, it would only manage $64M at the worldwide box office, which was considered a flop even if profitable (it’s ridiculous if you ask this writer).
Happy Death Day 2U set the table for a third and final film, but the diminishing returns on the sequel quickly nixed that from coming into fruition. Instead, we got the wild and crazy body-swapping horror-comedy Freaky. It was a nice consolation prize. Still, horror fans are clamoring to see Jessica Rothe return as Tree in a third and final Happy Death Day.
Blum has been teasing Tree’s return for the better part of the past year and continued to do so this past weekend over on social media. When asked about a third Happy Death Day, Blum exclaimed: “Something is stirring. I will say that.”
It’s no guarantee but there are talks, at the very least.
“I have a plan,” Blum told Collider three months ago. “I’m not saying goodbye to Happy Death Day. I’ll say it like that.”
Christopher Landon just wrapped production on We Have a Ghost for Netflix, maybe the door has finally been opened for a conclusion to Happy Death Day?
