Another follow-up to a 2014 film, the new movie didn’t have as powerful a predecessor (The Nut Job made $120 million worldwide during its release window), but still nobody can be happy with these results.
Now you can add The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature to that list.
The $8 million take is less than half of what the original made in its opening weekend – and that was in January.
Taking the discussion about disappointing sequels this summer even further, it’s been a particularly weak year for animation.
