The Ring Two (2005)

The Ring Two is a 2005 American psychological horror film, and a sequel to the 2002 film The Ring, which was a remake of the 1998 Japanese film of the same name. Hideo Nakata, director of the original Japanese films Ring and Ring 2 on which the American versions are based, is the director of this film in place of Gore Verbinski (who directed the first film).

This sequel (and the upcoming 2012 3D sequel The Ring 3D) is not based on any of the previous Japanese sequels to Ring, and is an original storyline, continuing from The Ring.

The movie was filmed in Astoria, Oregon and Los Angeles, California. It was released on March 18, 2005, and opened with a strong US$35 million its first weekend, more than doubling the opening weekend of The Ring. Its final $75 million gross was far less than the original's $129 million total.
