Is Escape Room 3 happening? When is the third movie coming out?
By Sandy C.
The 2019 movie Escape Room was a surprise hit. A sequel to the psychological horror movie was quickly announced and it’s just as popular as the first. That said, is Escape Room 3 happening soon? Here’s when the third movie could be coming out.
If you check Rotten Tomatoes, you’ll see that Escape Rom 2 aka Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, did not do well with critics, sitting with a score of 46%. But if you think about it, horror, violent movies, and thrillers, never get great scores from the Rotten Tomatoes critics. And a bad score has never once stopped Hollywood from creating more movies.
In fact, the first Escape Room scored even worse. So the chances of a third movie do not at all depend on critics. This is good news for fans. The important factor to consider is the money the films bring in.
Escape Room 3 release date: When is the movie coming out?
As Digital Spy reports, Escape Room 3 has not been announced or confirmed to be happening. Typically, production likes to wait a few weeks after a movie’s release to see how it does at the box office.
It’s now been several weeks, but no word from Sony just yet. If you ask me, though, it’s only a matter of time. Those who watched Escape Room 2 know that the ending sets the story up for a third movie.
So all Sony needs to do is give the creators a thumbs up and work will begin (if it hasn’t already) on Escape Room 3.
Once it’s official, the movie could be coming out in early to mid 2023.
Why? Because the first movie was released in 2019 and the second in 2021, that’s a two year gap. There’s usually only 12-16 months between movies, but two years isn’t strange to see. There’s also the pandemic to consider, so I’d say the year 2023 is our best bet.
