"Black Phone 2" doesn't end on some big cliffhanger; its story feels complete. Still, it's easy to see how there could be more tales to tell in this universe centered on The Grabber, who has become a dream killer like Freddy Krueger. On that front, Cargill did provide the smallest hint as to where things would go if a third movie did happen: "Once that all dies down, if somebody's like, 'Oh, you know what would be cool?,' If the rest of us think it's cool, then we'll start exploring it. But right now we've got a couple other projects we're really excited about to jump into. And Scott has said, we waited a couple years for this one and we wanted to make it a high school film. If we make another one, it's likely to be a college film, where one or both of them are college-age, so that's going to be a few years down the road." "Those are the closest things we have to an inkling of what that film would be. We're not in a rush to make a third film. We're just very happy we made a good second one," Cargill concluded. Even if Blumhouse desperately wants "Black Phone 3," unless it's something that feels creatively rewarding, it's highly unlikely that Derrickson and/or Cargill would do it. For what it's worth, Blumhouse has been on a rocky streak at the box office with the surefire hits harder to come by. So if this movie continues to perform well, studio head Jason Blum may well become desperate. In which case, all he can do is hope that Derrickson and Cargill come up with an idea they spark to. "Black Phone 2" is in theaters now.
