Four Days After "The Addams Family" Hit Theaters, A Sequel Has Already Been Confirmed

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures

Hear that? It's the sound of my mind being blown...or that of me snapping along to the Addams Family theme song.

Following the commercial success of this year's animated re-imagining of one of our favorite unconventional families, The Addams Family, which was released on theaters October 11, Deadline exclusively confirmed on Tuesday that an animated kooky and spooky sequel is already in the works.

In just its opening weekend, The Addams Family has earned $30.3 million from its theatrical releases in the United States and Canada (a little bit more than three-quarters of its $40 million budget), surpassing box office predictions and showing that millions of moviegoers are still interested in catching up with what Gomez Addams and his family are doing once again. In doing so, The Addams Family also became the second highest grossing film in the domestic box office this weekend, following Joker which earned $55.9 million.

While it currently is unknown what the premise of The Addams Family 2 will be, as The Addams Family is still four days old since it's theatrical opening (it's still wearing diapers!), MGM has green lit the sequel which has already been slated to be theatrically released on October 22, 2021, even closer to the spooky Halloween holiday.

MGM will be returning to produce and distribute the animated sequel through United Artists Releasing. The principal voice cast, which stars an array of voice talent that includes Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, Bette Midler, Nick Kroll, and Allison Janney is expected to return. (If Kroll convinces John Mulaney to join the sequel doing whatever voice role possible, I would not have a problem with it.)

The Addams Family was genuinely good family-friendly fun, strongly supported by a great diverse voice cast and story elements true to the family and its message of staying true to your kooky self, and am looking forward to return to this world and see how its expanded in 2021.

Sincerely, Dora Goto who agrees that black is a happy color

Having Breakfast at Tiffany's is NOW OFFICIALLY a Reality

Paramount Pictures If you're a big Aubrey Hepburn fan or simply a fan of good films from the 1960's like Breakfast at Tiffany's , then you'll probably be giddy as I to find out that an actual café store has opened at the fourth floor of the iconic Tiffany & Co. store located in Fifth Avenue in New York City. The café store is called Blue Box Café (rambling a little bit here so you have time to write it down, okay that's enough), officially opened its doors today, and according to a  review by Vogue  of the café's opening, it offers a $29 breakfast menu option that includes coffee and croissant with the "choice of an avocado toast, truffled eggs, or a smoked salmon bagel with schmear." But Blue Box Café will not only offer breakfast options (* very delicious breakfast options ), as  the  Vogue  review  noted that the cafe also offers lunch options at $39 (which include a starter and main course), including the "Charles Lewis Tiffany"...

Jon Favreau FINALLY Revealed the One Real, Non-CGI Shot He Sneaked in "The Lion King" Adaptation

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures In the words of Joey Tribbiani, finally now "we know, we know, we know!" In a recent  LA Times article  film director Jon Favreau, who directed this year's  The Lion King adaptation starring Donald Glover and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, revealed that although the summer Disney film was made using and composed of computer-generated imagery (CGI) - utilizing VR and live-action technology and techniques, of course - the director did put one real-live action shot in the film "just to see if anybody would be able to pick it up." Naturally, in the nature of the Internet, thousands dared to take guesses, but Favreau ultimately ended up revealing on Friday the one real shot he used in The Lion King , revealing it to be "the first shot of the movie that begins The Circle of Life."
