The Croods: A New Age | Nov 25, 2020 | RIP Cloris Leachman

I imagine this’ll be one of their smaller budget films like Captain Underpans.

Every DW movie that has had a sequel had a show. I think only Legends of Awesomeness and whatever Madagascar was subtitled were on Nick only.

 

I think the only one that doesn't have a second movie is Peabody and Sherman (Which is fine, because the show is actually entertaining), Home, and Monsters Vs. Aliens.

DWA seem to be trying to hog the slot that has been used by WAG and SPA for their animated films. I'm guessing Universal doesn't want their films in the summer or November.

My son will be 6 when this finally opens.

In 2020, Universal will have 4 animated sequels (Trolls 2, Minions 2, Croods 2, and Sing 2).

[Incarnadine]

I was very surprised when it was cancelled, much less surprised that it has been revived.

As mentioned, the original was a surprise huge hit at nearly $600m WW and it's 2 stars are both riding career highs in success and popularity at the moment.

If the original had a sequel clause in it they might be getting Emma and Ryan for much less than their current asking prices.

I know this is early but I'm starting to think this'll do anywhere from $80M-$115M domestic. That 7 year wait will hurt it in addition to the TV show it has.

The 10 year olds that watched the first Croods will be 17 years old when this Croods 2 comes out. Will they still give a shit?

The original was a hit but that doesn't mean people remember it 

 

 

this

could  be like Happy Feet 2

It will hurt badly for two reasons:

1.) The original's audience will be young adults by now and the first one wasn't a juggernaut 

2.) The Netflix show will still be relevant 

 

However otherwise Universal will dominate animation in 2020. Minions 2 and Sing 2 should be the heavy hitters and Trolls 2 can also surprise.

Joel Crawford (director of Trolls Holiday) is directing.

[Fullbuster]

So cancelled and now back on track?

 

Unexpected and rare....

 

I remember the first one but barely.

I imagine either SpongeBob or Scoob will move to that slot now

This is likely to suffer from the "too much time lapsed" syndrome.

I enjoyed the first but don't really recall anything from it, at all. Just remember liking it as I left the theater.

Made $600m WW, I'm surprised it took 7 years for a sequel to get made.

And it's also a brilliant movie, on top of that, which I watched 10 times in cinemas back in Dublin.

 

No other animation deserved a sequel more than that! Yet - this is the one that gets fucked, while other garbage (Pixar, etc.) flood cinemas.

 

I guess it's just the proverbial bad luck of the Shay...

 

PS: The other answer is - it is a DW movie. DW had lots of troubles in the recent decade (fuck Pixar for that, again!).

This is having test screenings this weekend. Very quiet production if its already complete.
