The only other movie that’s currently scheduled to open on that November 3 weekend is Thor: Ragnarok, Marvel third big blockbuster of 2017.
After Bad Moms performed so commercially well in July, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore said in October they were prioritizing getting Bad Moms 2 off the ground.
However, since these are two radically different kinds of movies, A Bad Moms Christmas shouldn’t have any trouble drawing in its preferred audience.
It’s somewhat surprising, though, that it will hit theaters so soon, as only a year and a half will have passed since the first movie.
