Happy Death Day | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Jessica Rothe is opening up about her hope to make a third movie in the Happy Death Day franchise and get the chance to complete her character Tree’s story.

The first movie hit theaters in 2017 and was a big box office hit, grossing $125 million worldwide on a $4.8 million budget. The second movie was released in 2019 and only made $64 million on a budget twice the size.

“I really hope that we have the opportunity to make the third one,” Jessica told TooFab.

“I think that the franchise is really beloved by people. I think Tree is an incredible character and she really deserves her full arc,” she added. “[Director Christopher Landon] knows what he wants that third film to be. He told me tiny snippets about it and I would love to continue and finish her story.”

You can currently see Jessica in the movie Valley Girl, which is on demand right now.

The new movie Happy Death Day 2U is opening in theaters on Wednesday (February 13) and you might be wondering if there’s a scene after the credits!

The film is a sequel to 2017′s surprise hit Happy Death Day and this one is just as fun as the first, reuniting cast members Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, Ruby Modine, and more.

We can confirm that there is indeed a mid-credits scene that perfectly sets the franchise up for a third film. The lengthy scene is a must see, so make sure to stay in your seats for what is essentially an epilogue to the movie.

You can leave after that scene ends as there is nothing at the very end of the credits.

Make sure to see Happy Death Day 2U in theaters and check out the first one if you haven’t seen it yet!

The hit horror comedy movie Happy Death Day is officially getting a sequel and the film just got a release date!

Happy Death Day 2U will be hitting theaters on February 14, 2019.

Jessica Rothe is returning to star as Tree for the sequel, which will once again be written and directed by Christopher Landon. Jason Blum and Blumhouse will be producing.

In the new movie, “Tree discovers that dying over and over again was easier than the dangers in her future,” according to TheWrap.

Happy Death Day grossed $122.7 million worldwide last year on a budget of less than $5 million.

Jessica Rothe has been confirmed to star in a sequel to her hit horror movie Happy Death Day!

The Blumhouse movie will also bring back Israel Broussard as her boyfriend Carter.

Joining the cast are Life of Pi actor Suraj Sharma as Samar Ghosh, a science enthusiast and geek who enjoys coding in his spare time, and Sarah Yarkin as Dre Morgan, a science geek and tom-boy with a sleepy feline gaze who is Samar’s partner-in-crime, according to Deadline.

Production on the sequel is set to begin on May 10.

Happy Death Day was a big hit at the box office this weekend, taking in more than experts initially predicted and landing at number one with $26.5 million!

Now, there is sequel talk and director Christopher Landon is opening up about ideas for a possible second movie. This post obviously includes some spoilers as to what happened at the end of the first movie, so read on at your own risk.

Happy Death Day follows a college student (Jessica Rothe) who relives the same day over and over again and it always ends with her dying. The film ends with her figuring out who the killer is and stopping the time loop.

So, what will happen in a possible sequel?

“I’m trying to keep this close to the vest and be secretive. We don’t want to jinx it. We’re not counting our chickens and we don’t want to operate under the assumption that the movie is going well,” Chris told THR. “We never know how things are going to go. I will say that if we are lucky, and people like the movie and we get to do another one, I do have a sequel ready in my head, and it’s definitely not what anyone is expecting, but it will make a lot of sense.”

“And it will answer a lot of questions that may pop up in the first movie for people. But that’s only if I get to do it. If I don’t, I’m probably just taking it to my grave,” he added.
