What To Expect From The Boy 3

Warning! Spoilers for The Boy 2

Brahms: The Boy II is definitely one of the more surprising horror sequels to recently materialize, but the release of this film certainly begs the question if another Boy sequel will follow.

William Brent Bell’s The Boy franchise has spawned two films, with each one tackling a different aspect of the disturbing history and mysterious circumstances that surrounds a porcelain doll known as Brahms. The first Boy film cleverly plays with expectations and it delivers a surprising twist on a meager budget. Brahms: The Boy II hopes to conjure the same magic, albeit with a different approach.

Brahms: The Boy II heavily leans into the idea that the Brahms doll is actually possessed with some kind of evil spirit and that it has a mind of its own. The first Boy film says the contrary, but this sequel attempts to re-explain the first movie through this new lens. The result is an intimate horror film about a fractured family who are tested in unbelievable ways. Katie Holmes and Christopher Convery round out the cast and even if the story isn’t as strong as the initial movie, The Boy II still goes out on a cliffhanger of sorts that certainly hints at future chapters to this story.

STX Entertainment Hasn’t Announced Plans For The Boy 3

What To Expect From The Boy 3

Even though the end of The Boy II hints at another movie, STX Films and Lakeshore Entertainment haven’t announced any plans for a sequel. The chances don’t exactly look positive since the movie was initially scheduled for a release in July of 2019 before being pushed back twice to its February 2020 release. It also doesn’t help that the movie is sitting at a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes. Granted, the original Boy only had a 30%, but it still brought in $64.1 million on a $10 million budget. Alternatively, the budget for Brahms: The Boy II was also only $10 million, but it hasn’t even made its money back as it sits at a worldwide gross of only $8.1 million. The Boy II probably will ultimately break even and its release was only in slightly over 1000 theaters, but it still makes for a disappointing start.

When The Boy 3 Could Release If Green-Lit

What To Expect From The Boy 3

In spite of the The Boy II’s concerning box office numbers, the budget was low enough that it still might get a chance to earn another shot. Nobody expected a sequel in the first place, especially four years later, so it’s entirely possible that a Boy 3 could happen three or four years from now. However, if they still want to use Christopher Convery as Jude then production may need to start sooner than later, or the role gets recast. That being said, William Brent Bell who helmed both Boy films has now been slated to direct the similar horror movie, Esther, which is a prequel to Orphan. If Bell is too occupied to return, perhaps that will hold up a third Boy film. On the hand, maybe it means the addition of fresh blood to the franchise, which could actually be a helpful change of pace for the films after Bell has gotten two shots at this story now.

What The Boy 3’s Story Could Be

Brahms: The Boy II ends on a rather important note when the Brahms doll gets destroyed. This happens in the first film, but the damage this time is much more permanent and it appears to release the evil spirit that resides within the doll. The film’s final moments reveal that this spirit successfully possesses Jude. With the Brahms doll now gone, a hypothetical Boy 3 would likely explore the horror that Brahms causes now that he has a human host. Brahms: The Boy II’s sequel would look at Jude’s possession and his family’s efforts to stay alive and rid their son of this spirit and perhaps try to trap it into some kind of new doll.
