The Black Demon
held the number one spot on Amazon’s ranking for seven days, which has prompted discussion of a sequel. The Black Demon has been the top-ranked movie on Amazon for seven days. This has prompted talk of a sequel. Produced for just under $10 million, The Black Demon may not have received the best reviews upon release, but it’s clear that there’s an audience for the movie.“No one has ever seen a genre shark movie with a Latino bent,” Black Demon producer Javier Chapa told THR. “
That was where we saw the chance, given that our company’s ethos focuses on supporting people of color both on and off camera. But also filling a need in our community.“, Chapa said. They are the most aggressive audience for movies, more so than any other group. And to me, it’s the million-dollar question: why aren’t more people making films that are universal but that are by and for that community?“Whether the success of
The Black Demon will translate to a sequel remains to be seen, but producers say there has been talk, but that nothing can move forward until the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes conclude.Our own Cody Hamman reviewed The Black Demon earlier this year and called it “middle-of-the-road entertainment” that should have embraced the cheese rather than try to be so serious.
