Overview
- The Mexico City event at Antara Cinemex featured Demián Bichir as the sole cast member on the carpet representing the international ensemble.
- The film opens in theaters across Mexico this weekend following promotional stops that Bichir noted in Los Angeles and New York.
- Scott Derrickson directs again with Ethan Hawke, Madeleine McGraw and Jeremy Davies, continuing Finn and Gwen’s story without revealing key plot turns.
- Bichir plays Nando, a camp supervisor positioned as a pivotal new character, with the production filmed in Canada.
- Early genre reaction has been upbeat, including praise from critic Germain Lussier and an endorsement from Stephen King, as Blumhouse follows the first film’s roughly $160 million global haul.
