Smile 2 was released in theaters by Paramount Pictures only a couple of weeks ago, and it's doing really well at the box office. As of Oct. 31, it has grossed over $86 million worldwide, and that number is still increasing since the horror flick is still showing in theaters.
Haven't been able to make your way to see it? Well, we got some good news for you. In a surprise move, Paramount has decided to treat fans this Halloween by letting them see a little bit of the film online for free. We're talking about the first seven minutes! How? Don't worry. We're about to let you know right now.
So, here's what you need to do. Visit the movie's official website on a computer or mobile device, and it will ask you to provide your date of birth. This is needed of course because the film is rated R. We can't have young kids seeing it! Once you enter the required information, you will be asked to tap a button in the middle of the screen that says, "Tap to smile."
Once you click that button, a notification will pop up asking you for permission to turn on your webcam. Give your computer or other electronic device permission, and then your webcam will turn on. You will then be asked to smile into the camera. The movie starts once you start smiling, but the catch is that you have to keep smiling throughout the entire seven minutes for it to continue playing. If you stop smiling, the video stops.
Can you smile for seven minutes straight? We tried it, and our cheeks were hurting once the video was finished. It was definitely worth it, though!
Smile 2 is a sequel to the smash-hit supernatural horror film Smile (2022). It stars Naomi Scott as a global pop star named Skye Riley, who starts encountering a series of increasingly frightening and unexplainable occurrences as she prepares for her new world tour. As her mental state begins to deteriorate rapidly, she eventually learns that she must confront her dark past in order to reclaim control of her life before it descends into chaos.
Rosemarie DeWitt, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Ray Nicholson, Dylan Gelula, Raúl Castillo, and Kyle Gallner join Scott in the cast.
Smile 2 is now showing in theaters.
