Jason Blum Comments Make ‘Happy Death Day 3’ Seem Possible
By George Robbins
Jason Blum, the eponymous head of Blumhouse Productions, has become someone that is now known throughout the movie industry. His productions have defined the modern era of horror films and most have been relatively successful. They find success in the fact that they are produced with low-budgets, but very well done camera work which results in movies that can do bad theatrically and still not really lose much. The stories for the films have even been mostly original and provide entertainment to the audience even if they are not great films overall. This has resulted in many people becoming interested in whatever Blumhouse decides to work on next.
If a horror movie comes out nowadays and the plot seems like it is a strange horror movie, then more than likely it is because it is a Blumhouse production. That company has managed to become wildly successful due to the massive box office gross made in comparison to the budgets the films are made on. This has resulted in numerous sequels being born from their films that do almost as well or even better than the original film. Not many studios can say that they have succeeded the same way that Blumhouse has considering the sheer number of films they have put out in just the past few years alone.
Blum has announced that within his scope of upcoming projects, ‘Happy Death Day 3’ is one that he will be trying very hard to make happen. The original film, ‘Happy Death Day‘ is a black-comedy slasher film that sees a young woman reliving the day she was murdered over and over again while she tries to uncover just who it is killing her and how to stop them. In the follow-up sequel, that same girl finds herself in yet another timeloop caused by her death and must repeat what she did before in order to stop her new killer yet again. It seems as though this cycle of death is just never meant to end since Blum wants to make yet another sequel to make it a trilogy.
Fans have been wondering just when another movie would come out for the franchise since there was really no word on whether there would be another sequel. Blum has given hope by saying that despite the second film not performing as well as the first in the box office, a third film is less likely but not impossible. He has all of the power necessary to make a third film for the franchise, it is just a matter of whether it will be worth making in the near future. With everything going on in the world right now, this movie would be one of the last things on the list they would pay attention to. This doesn’t mean that it’s off of his radar though, so we could end up seeing the film released at some point down the road.
