We normally don’t write up articles on the runtimes of upcoming horror movies, but with rumors swirling this week that Paramount and director Parker Finn’s Smile 2 has a runtime of a whopping 2 hours, 12 minutes, we wanted to help clear the air a bit.
Bloody Disgusting has checked in this afternoon and learned that the final runtime for Smile 2 is actually 2 hours, 1 minute + credits, a bit longer than the first film’s 1 hour, 55 minutes.
Check out a brand new exclusive image from the sequel above.
Naomi Scott leads the cast of Smile 2, which arrives in theaters October 18, 2024.
In Smile 2, “About to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, Skye is forced to face her dark past to regain control of her life before it spirals out of control.”
The announced cast for Smile 2 also includes Kyle Gallner (Smile), Rosemarie DeWitt (“The Staircase”), Lukas Gage (“The White Lotus”), and Dylan Gelula (Dream Scenario), alongside Raúl Castillo (Army of the Dead) and Miles Gutierrez-Riley (The Wilds).
Stay tuned for more on Smile 2 as we learn it. The first film scared up a whopping $217 million worldwide in 2022, all but ensuring that a sequel wouldn’t be too far behind.
