Director Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Rise is already profitable at the box office after just two weeks, and in fact the film is VERY CLOSE to defeating the box office total of Evil Dead (2013).

Worldwide, Evil Dead Rise has scared up $86.5 million at the box office as of this writing, with $44.4 million of that worldwide total made here in the United States so far.

For the sake of comparison, Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead ended its domestic run with $54 million back in 2013, and the film’s worldwide total hit an impressive $97.5 million.

It won’t be long before Evil Dead Rise surpasses the previous installment at the worldwide box office, and with a budget of just $19 million, this one is already a massive success.

When Evil Dead wins, we get more Evil Dead. It’s as simple as that. So get out there and support Evil Dead Rise in theaters. We promise it’s a franchise-faithful bloodbath of terror.

Meagan Navarro writes in her Evil Dead Rise review for BD, “Evil Dead Rise is an absolute crowd pleaser that’s best enjoyed with a rowdy crowd of fellow fans.”

Chucky death

Everyone’s favorite killer doll is headed back to the small screen with “Chucky” Season 3: Part 2 on April 10, but are any further movies being planned at this time?

Created by Don Mancini, the “Chucky” television series remarkably plays around with existing elements from all previous films without disregarding ANYTHING from the past. From the original Child’s Play to sequels including Child’s Play 2, Bride of Chucky and even Seed of Chucky, it’s all one cohesive timeline that Mancini remains deeply committed to.

Of course, the most recent film in the Child’s Play franchise was the 2019 remake, to date the only movie in the saga that’s NOT part of Mancini’s vision. Is Mancini’s original incarnation going to spend his final days on TV, while another Chucky will be featured in the movies? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves for the last few years, and we may now have an answer.

Speaking with the Scream Dreams Podcast this week, Mancini revealed that he’s in the early stages of development on a potential new installment in the original Chucky film franchise!

“Like anyone in this business, I want to do more things. At this point though if it’s only Chucky I’m totally cool with that,” Mancini explains. “I have other things I want to do. I’m working on a new pilot. I’m also, actually, in the early stages of working on a new Chucky movie.”

Mancini adds, “At this point, my goal is just to keep working.”

Outside of the aforementioned Child’s Play remake, there are to date seven installments in the franchise, with Cult of Chucky (2017) being the original franchise’s most recent film.

For now, Chucky remains a small screen icon. Don’t miss the premiere of Season 3: Part 2 on both USA and SYFY on April 10, with new episodes hitting Peacock the day after they air.
