The sequel to Josh Ruben’s 2025 horror romance Heart Eyes is coming to the Melrose lot.
Paramount Pictures will co-produce and co-finance Spyglass Media Group’s Heart Eyes 2 for a global theatrical release, with a date set for Feb. 11, 2028.
The pic will be written by Ruben and Darcy Fowler from a story by Christopher Landon and Michael Kennedy. Ruben will also direct. Landon and Divide/Conquer will produce.
No logline, but we hear Olivia Holt will be reprising her role as Ally McCabe.
The pic reps a reteam between Paramount and Spyglass after the global success of the last three Scream movies, the latest Scream 7 the highest grossing title in the franchise ever with $213.4M after a record series global debut of $97M.
Heart Eyes, which was released by Sony last year timed to the Valentine’s Day holiday, was made for $18M net, and grossed $30M at the domestic B.O. The pic’s first weekend was $8.3M, but was interesting about its second weekend was that its 3-day shot up +19% with $9.88M over Feb. 14-16. Blurb for first pic: When two coworkers have to survive the Heart Eyes Killer on Valentine’s Day, the two have to find out who it is.
Ruben is repped by CAA, Artists First and Ginsburg Daniels & Kallis.
The only other major studio title on Feb. 11, 2028 so far is a Universal event film.
