I think these films hit 100 M because of weak competition.

Gnomeo & Juliet/Journey 2 scenario here.

[Jack Nevada]

I barely remember the first one, but I guess it was alright. The animation was good.

I only saw the first on home video and the animation was fun, too bad I failed to see this on the big screen

Wow. The first one was great.

Clearly the success of HT have prompted Sony to bring Cloudy forward a few months. I imagine most of their future family and animated films with a few exceptions like The Smurfs will be released in September/October time.

Pretty good move, but I don't understand the name change.

[kayumanggi]

What's wrong with the name change?

Nothing is wrong with it, just curious why they changed it.

Brand recognition.

4 year gap seems like a long time for a movie like this.

[CJohn]

Animation sequels usually take a long time to be released. 50M OW may happen. The first is a great animation movie. Better than Despicable Me

I would've understood a 2-3 year gap, but 4 just seems way too long. This movie wasn't that big. If the first was a 200M+ grosser, then a 4 year gap would make sense, but a 4 year gap for a sequel to a film that made a little under 125M just seems too long IMO.

Cloudy was well received although it did wrap up nicely so it'll be a interesting how the sequel does, I'm expecting $35-40m for its OW at least, it might beat HT's OW but I wonder if The Little Mermaid 3D and the Star Wars Episode II and III 3D will eat into its audience.
