The Original Cast May Draw a Crowd
As I Know What You Did Last Summer and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer are slasher films, it makes sense that some of the original cast members are unable to reprise their roles in the upcoming movie.
However, Variety recently confirmed Freddie Prinze Jr. has joined the cast, taking on the role of Ray Bronson once again.
Jennifer Love Hewitt, who played Julia James and starred opposite Freddie, is reportedly in talks about rejoining the slasher franchise.
If she does agree to sign on to the film, she will join many new cast members, including Chase Sue Wonders (Bodies Bodies Bodies), Madelyn Cline (Outer Banks), Tyriq Withers (Atlanta), Jonah Hauer-King (The Little Mermaid), and Sarah Pidgeon (Tiny Beautiful Things).
While a fresh cast of beautiful faces may attract a younger crowd, the OG members might add a touch of nostalgia to the movie, encouraging millennials to venture out of their homes to watch I Know What You Did Last Summer 2 on the big screen.
How Will the Film Perform in Its Opening Weekend?
It is hard to predict how well I Know What You Did Last Summer 2 will perform during its opening weekend, and the first two installments were released more than 16 years ago.
However, I Know What You Did Last Summer and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer both performed well.
The former earned $15.8 million during its opening weekend in theaters across the US and Canada, ranking in the number one position, and the latter earned $16.4 million and reached the second position behind The Waterboy.
If history repeats itself, I Know What You Did Last Summer 2 could recoup some or all of its budget, which has typically been $17 million (which may be higher due to inflation), during its opening weekend.
However, you’ll need to wait until July 2025 to see how it performs at the box office.
