Happy Death Day 2U
Producer Jason Blum says thatHappy Death Day 3isn’t very likely to occur , followingHappy Death Day 2U ’s under - performance at the box office . The originalHappy Death Daywas also produce by Blum and collide with theatre back in October 2017 . Typically described as a interbreeding between a slasher film andGroundhog Day(a movie thatHappy Death Dayeven name - drops at one tip ) , the horror - clowning starred Jessica Rothe as Tree , a college student who ’s trapped in a time loop where she ’s murdered on her birthday , over and over again . The movie was a surprise vital success and clear $ 125 million at the global box office on a $ 5 million budget .
With those form of numbers , it ’s no admiration a sequel was tight - tracked and released in theaters back in February . The movie , which is titledHappy Death Day 2U , was n’t quite as well - received critically as the original movie , butthe overall response was still more positivethan negative . However , at its current pace , Happy Death Day 2Uis likely to end up grossing about half of what its herald did in theater . That does n’t bode well , as far as the chance ofHappy Death Day 3happening are concerned .

Blum confirmed as much during a Q&A that he conducted on hisTwitteraccount this week . Here ’s what he had to say , when asked about the odds ofHappy Death Day 3getting made :
While Blum admitted it’s"not impossible"thatHappy Death Day 3will happen , the betting odds are n’t really in its favor at the minute . Happy Death Day 2Uhas already sprain a net thanks to its pocket-size $ 9 million budget , but a fifty pct ( or so ) drop - off at the loge office between films is a bad signaling for any dealership . To be honest , theHappy Death Daysequel was n’t the only February release that disappoint commercially in maliciousness of an altogether solid chemical reaction from critics and audiences likewise . The LEGO Movie 2faced even less rival when it hit the scene five days beforeHappy Death Day 2U , butit too misfired at the box office . For whatever rationality - be it a smaller demand than awaited or merchandising campaigns that failed to make the sequels seem fresh and exciting - moviegoers at large just were n’t interested in more of these properties right now .
Still , like Blum said , all hope is not lost forHappy Death Day 3 . The second installing boast a post - credits view that place the stage for a third pic and series author - director Christopher Landon has said that his intent was alwaysto make aHappy Death Daytrilogy , so fans will hopefully get to see those architectural plan actualise at some peak . Blum , for his part , has increasingly moved by from grow sequels for their own sake of late and focus more on develop original projects , like the forthcoming repulsion filmsUsandMa . That is to say , he ’ll probably only sign off onHappy Death Day 3if he feel that it ’s something that people are really interested in .
