There's some disappointing news on a third HappyDeathDay, according to the director.
The first Happy Death Day became a surprising success with both audiences and critics alike, earning positive reviews and performing well at the box office, resulting in the development of the sequel Happy Death Day 2U, but director Christopher Landon's latest update on a third film is sure to disappoint fans.
When asked for an update on the third film by /Film, Landon confessed,"No movement at all, sadly. There was a tiny moment where I really felt like I had Universal's attention, but they forgot about me. I think it's a really tough one for them, and I'm being really blunt and honest in that the first movie was very successful. It made a lot of money. It was well-received. And the sequel was not.
One of the more promising developments in the years since Happy Death Day 2U was released was the launch of Universal's streaming platform Peacock, which has seen the release of original horror films like They/Them and Sick. If those films resonate strongly enough with audiences, it will likely bode well for Happy Death Day to Us.
"So I don't know what it would take. There was talk for a minute of it maybe being a Peacock thing," the filmmaker expressed."Maybe. Maybe one day. The beauty of it is that my idea, the whole idea for the third movie, it is not dependent on any sort of specific window or timeframe. So I could make it any time, but I mean, as the years draw past, I feel like our chances are dimming.
In addition to the third film seeing ups and downs in progress over the years, another constant is that Landon confirmed audiences will learn how the trilogy will be completed eventually, even if he doesn't end up releasing that conclusion in the form of a feature film.
