Directed by Adam Robitel ( Insidious : The Last Key),Escape Roomfollows six stranger as they navigate a series of dodging way that , as they quickly arrive to realize , are designed to try and kill them . The film earned middling reviews overall and was criticized for being derivative of trend - setter likeSawandCubebefore it , but also landed praise for its creative set pieces . Commercially , though , it was highly lucrative and grossed over $ 155 million at the box office against a lean $ 9 million budget .

Exhibitor Relationsis report thatEscape way 2has been delayed from its old April 17 , 2020 exit date to August 14 . It ’s the only horror moving picture scheduled to come that month right now , and will feather off with Disney ’s live - action at law / CGI adaption of the children ’s novelThe One and Only Ivanduring its opening night weekend . And while it probably go without saying , there should be niggling overlap between the two film , seeing as they ’re target rather different old age demographic .
Escape Room 2was one of multiple upcoming Sony film to receive a new liberation date this calendar week , along with movies like the long - developingUnchartedvideo game adaption starring Tom Holland . It ’s also one of a smattering of revulsion films that Sony has scheduled for 2020 , along withThe Grudgereboot from director Nicolas Pesce ( Piercing ) and a horror - flavoredFantasy Islandmovie reboot that Blumhouse is developing with theatre director Jeff Wadlow ( Truth or Dare ) . Noticeably , all of these motion-picture show are part of an established holding - or lately - establish , inEscape Room ’s character . That ’s not too surprising , either ; the studio apartment has doubled its efforts of former , when it come to reboot or revive its most popular franchises for the big covert .
When it come toEscape Room , however , there ’s fair reason to think its basic premise can sustain an entire franchise . The main draw play of the first flick was its set pieces , which were wide-ranging and imaginative enough to avoid blurring together over the course of its runtime . It also left room for the continuation to up the ante and submit its submarine ( those that survived the firstEscape way , that is ) to a whole Modern lot of bizarre and terrific teaser room challenges . Of course , there ’s always a riskEscape Room 2will be a case of belittle returns and have the exact same problems as its predecessor , but lack its freshness too . Hopefully , that wo n’t be the font , andEscape Room 2will provide audiences with a fun way to round down out next year ’s summertime movie season .
