A few days ago, Disney dated their upcoming slate, announcing several new projects, and new dates for existing ones - including Saving Mr. Banks - and, yesterday, Sony dated one of their highly anticipated projects too.
Cloudy 2: Revenger of the Leftovers, Sony Pictures Animation's sequel to 2009's successful Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, is now due on 27th September, 2013, says Box Office Mojo. This is up several months from its previously planned 7th February, 2014 release date - and this new date puts it at almost exactly the same date that Hotel Transylvania opened at so successfully this year. UPDATE: 22:33 (GMT) - Kyle (Ostrumation92) commented that the subtitle has been dropped, and that the film is now just called Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, which does fit with the Box Office Mojo listing.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was a hell of a let of fun, and its quirky comedy and lively charm made it one of 2009's best animated films, so Cloudy 2 is hotly anticipated here at A113Animation! Check out some plot details for the film over at Entertainment Weekly.
In the meantime, SPA's latest, Hotel Transylvania, is in cinemas; check out our interview with production designer Marcelo Vignali here!
Quick little note, the title has been changed back to "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2". Looks like they didn't like leftovers! :)
ReplyDeleteOther than that, I have a theory. Since this isn't opening in 2014 alongside "The Familiars", that means that Sony could have something else ready for that year. Methinks it'll be "Popeye", since "Hotel" did so well.
Ah, cheers Kyle! I'll update the post accordingly. :)
DeleteYeah, seems sensible that SPA'd push Popeye now. Very excited for The Familiars too! It is, after all, directed by the director of my favourite Pixar short!
I really enjoyed the original, and I was pleasantly surprised by it too because I thought it would just end up being one of those less-than-average, mediocre animated flicks. I sure hope they can make a sequel worthy of its predecessor, and not just a cheap, poorly-made cash grab. I don't doubt that they can make this sequel even better than the original, however.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I loved Cloudy, and I'm yet to find someone who didn't! Here's hoping the sequel's worthy of it.
