### Behind the Scenes: The Sequel’s Inspiration
During a July interview with *People* magazine, Jamie Lee Curtis revealed how the idea for *Freakier Friday* originated. Curtis explained that in 2022, while on a press tour for *Halloween Ends* — the final film in the *Halloween* franchise — she was frequently asked by fans and interviewers whether there would be a *Freaky Friday* sequel.
“Everybody I’ve ever spoken to has asked, ‘Will there be a *Freaky Friday* sequel?’” Curtis recalled. “When I went all around the world for *Halloween Ends* in 2022, every stop, they asked.”
She continued, “And the answer was ‘Lindsay has to be old enough to have had a teenager.’ So then obviously Lindsay had this beautiful baby. She came and visited me, brought the baby. At this moment we started really seriously talking about it.”
### Box Office Success
*Freakier Friday* was a hit in theaters, grossing $94.1 million domestically and nearly $59 million internationally, for a worldwide box office total of approximately $153.1 million. The film had a production budget of $42 million before prints and advertising costs, according to *The Numbers*.
### Final Note
