Delay Likely for Weapon 2 Release
In the world of cinema, the success of a film often sparks discussions about potential sequels or spin-offs. Such is the case with Zach Cregger's critically acclaimed and commercially successful horror film, Weapons, which topped the US box office over the weekend, earning an impressive $70 million worldwide.
Director Zach Cregger, who was noted for his work on "Barbarian" in 2022, has further solidified his standout cinematic voice with Weapons. The film, a self-contained story, does not tease any potential continuation. However, Cregger has teased the possibility of a potential sequel or spin-off to the Weapons movie.
In an interview with British GQ, Cregger revealed that he has an idea for another story set in the same universe as Weapons. However, he emphasized that no sequel is planned soon. He stated he is excited about this idea but will not pursue it immediately or right after his upcoming projects, which include a reboot of the "Resident Evil" franchise.
Cregger's potential new project could involve more mysteries, possibly set in a town like Twin Peaks or The X-Files style America. If Weapons achieves a similar level of success as "Sinners", the other major horror player of 2025, Cregger may receive emails about a potential sequel.
While a sequel or related story is not being developed immediately or very soon, the success of Weapons hints at possible future expansion in its universe. The movie's acclaim, earning an A- from CinemaScore, suggests that audiences are still interested in seeing movies in theaters if they are good.
Notably, Alden Ehrenreich, known for his role in "Star Wars", played a part in Weapons. Despite the potential for more stories in the Weapons universe, Cregger's current focus is on other projects before considering returning to this world.
Liam Neeson's "The Naked Gun" reboot is doing decent business amid a dearth of big-screen comedies. As the dust settles on the success of Weapons, fans of the horror genre eagerly await any updates on Cregger's potential new project. Only time will tell if we will see more of the Weapons universe on the big screen.
