In an interview with ComicBook, director Parker Finn commented on the possibility of a “Smile” horror sequel, revealing details about what audiences can expect from a new movie.
“I developed the horror ‘Smile’ to be a standalone, standalone story. I didn’t think there would be so many people waiting for a sequel. That said, I believe there is has elements in the first movie that are deliberately unexplored, and it would be really fun to get a chance to delve into those. There are also things that I couldn’t do in the original movie that I couldn’t not do because of budget constraints or that didn’t fit the story.”
He continues: “I don’t just want to repeat the same thing, but I think there are interesting directions in the universe of ‘Smile’. I want to develop something unexpected for the public, with lots of twists.
With US$209.9 million collected worldwide, the horror “Smile” managed to surpass the box office total of “The Conjuring 3: The Order of the Demon” (US$206.4 million) , becoming the biggest hit of its kind since the start of the pandemic.
Additionally, the Paramount Pictures original feature has also already surpassed “Scream” ($140 million) and “The Black Telephone” ($159.5 million), winning the title of 2022’s Greatest Horror.
