Lights Out Sequel in the Works

New Line Cinema has greenlit a sequel to this year’s horror film, Lights Out. The scary movie was able to scare up $27 million in a week, quadrupling its $5 million budget, according to Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. Executive Vice President of domestic film distribution.

“Whenever you can gross more than four times your budget on the domestic opening weekend, that’s a grand slam home run.”

David F. Sandberg will return to direct the sequel.
