With simply over six weeks to go earlier than it’s theatrical launch, Smile 2’s gotten a new poster, with a new trailer set to drop tomorrow.

In the center of the pandemic, there was a large push in direction of making streaming movies. Paramount Plus was one of many many studios that opted to make films specifically tailor-made for his or her service, however as soon as the pandemic eased and other people began going again to theatres, some films which examined significantly effectively in early screenings got theatrical releases. 

The largest success story to emerge from the streaming-to-theatrical pivot was Smile by director Parker Finn. A low-budget horror flick with a nice hook, it made an astonishing $217 million worldwide on a $17 million price range. Now, the film’s getting a sequel which expands the central premise, that a particular person is cursed by a supernatural entity to commit suicide (after flashing a demonic smile). This time, a pop star within the vein of Taylor Swift (performed by rising star Naomi Scott) is handed the curse, with the primary movie’s Kyle Gallner co-starring. 

With the sequel on account of be launched on October 18th, the studio’s all set to launch an all-new trailer, which drops tomorrow. Until then, to whet your urge for food, Paramount’s put out an all-new poster:

Here’s the official Smile 2 synopsis: 

“About to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, Skye is forced to face her dark past to regain control of her life before it spirals out of control.”

For extra from “Skye Riley,” you may observe her on Instagram proper right here. Hopefully, Smile 2 will dwell as much as the unique, which I believed was a fairly nifty little sleeper hit and a complete blast to look at with a raucous horror viewers. With a prime launch date simply earlier than Halloween, I count on this one to be a massive hit (though the two-hour-plus working time appears extreme).
