The horror movie Black Phone 2, a sequel to the 2021 hit The Black Phone, starring Ethan Hawke and Mason Thames, is reportedly arriving on digital streaming this week.
The film was released in theaters on October 17. Ethan Hawke returns as “The Grabber,” a kidnapper and killer who now haunts Finn (Mason Thames) and his sister Gwen (Madeleine McGraw) from beyond the grave.
Story Summary
In Black Phone 2, Finn is now 17 and still struggling with his past trauma. His 15-year-old sister Gwen starts receiving mysterious calls in her dreams through the black phone and sees visions of three boys being hunted at a winter camp called Alpine Lake.
Determined to stop the nightmares, Gwen convinces Finn to go to the camp during a snowstorm. There, they uncover a dark secret that links The Grabber to their own family. The siblings must face a powerful ghostly killer who is more dangerous than ever.
Streaming Details
According to When to Stream, Black Phone 2 will likely be available for digital purchase or rent starting Tuesday on major platforms like Apple TV, Prime Video, YouTube, and Fandango at Home.
On Prime Video, the film can be pre-ordered for $24.99. Rentals are expected to cost about $19.99 for a 48-hour viewing period.
While When to Stream is usually reliable, Universal Pictures has not officially confirmed the release date, so it may still change.
Box Office and Future Plans
So far, Black Phone 2 has earned about $95.8 million worldwide — $61.4 million in the U.S. and $34.4 million internationally — on a $30 million budget.
With its box office success, a Black Phone 3 seems likely. Ethan Hawke has already said he’d love to make another sequel, telling Entertainment Weekly, “I’d like to go to hell with the Grabber. I want to know more about who he is and how he haunts others.”
Directed by Scott Derrickson, Black Phone 2 also stars Demián Bichir, Miguel Mora, Jeremy Davies, and Arianna Rivas. The movie is rated R and is expected to hit PVOD on Tuesday.
