Joyful Demise Day director Christopher Landon revealed there was speak about turning Joyful Demise Day 3 right into a Peacock streaming occasion
Joyful Demise Day (watch it HERE) and Joyful Demise Day 2U (watch that one HERE) director Christopher Landon let or not it’s generally known as quickly as Joyful Demise Day 2U was launched that he had plans for a Joyful Demise Day 3 (which might be referred to as Joyful Demise Day to Us). However whereas Joyful Demise Day had earned a sequel by making over $125 million on the international field workplace on a funds that was just below $5 million, the third movie hasn’t occurred as a result of Joyful Demise Day 2U solely made $64 million. That’s fairly good for a film that value $9 million… however distributor Common Photos was apparently hesitant to make a follow-up to film that made a lot lower than its predecessor. Now, throughout an interview with SFX journal, Landon has revealed that Joyful Demise Day 3 virtually occurred some years in the past as a three-part Peacock streaming occasion!
Landon informed SFX, “I didn’t write the script as a result of I by no means need to rely my chickens and get forward of myself. However I used to be able to go and begin scripting this, however then it was kind of like, it was bizarre. We had plenty of matches and spurts when it comes to possibly we’ll do it. At one level they talked about it changing into a three-part occasion factor for [streaming service] Peacock, which was sort of bizarre. I used to be like, ‘Alriiiiiight! Whatever it takes.’ However then it went away and that was the final we ever heard of it – which was years in the past. It’s been an attention-grabbing journey as a result of each motion pictures have been financially very profitable, so I believe it’s left us and plenty of followers scratching their heads as to why we weren’t allowed to make a 3rd. However I don’t management the purse strings, I don’t name these pictures. That’s totally as much as Blumhouse and Common, if they’ve an urge for food or curiosity in it.“
Landon has beforehand stated that the issue wasn’t that the second film underperformed, however that the primary movie had overperformed, “creating unrealistic expectations on the second film.”
There have additionally been musings a few crossover between characters from Joyful Demise Day and one other Landon slasher, Freaky. However Landon stated that was only a enjoyable thought that had been thrown round and there’s no therapy in thoughts for a crossover. Joyful Demise Day 3 / Joyful Demise Day to Us is the film he actually needs to make… so I hope he’ll get the possibility to make it sometime. Even when it must be a three-part Peacock streaming occasion.
