Blumhouse horror sequel Happy Death Day 2U ups the ante and meta-minded horror, setting up a bloody Valentine's Day.
Happy Death Day may not have broken the box office with Avengers: Infinity War level might, but the Groundhog Day-influenced 2017 Blumhouse horror flick managed to achieve something impressive in its own right, manifesting as a big bang for the studio’s buck, with the micro-budgeted ($4.8 million) movie managing to reap $55.6 million at the domestic box office, which adds to a total of $122.6 million worldwide. Consequently, sequel prospects quickly glistened like frosting on a Happy Death Day 2U cupcake.
The sequel, titled Happy Death Day 2U, saw original film helmer Christopher B. Landon back in the director's chair, this time working off his own script. He's joined by a returning producer in studio head Jason Blum. Angela Mancuso and John Baldecchi return as executive producers, joined this time by Samson Mucke.
