12 Movie Sequels You Didn't Know Were Coming
9. The Croods 2
The answer to your question is yes- there was a movie called The Croods that was released in cinemas. A 2013 animated film starring the voice work of Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds and Emma Stone, the first iteration explored the lives of cavemen as they survived various natural disasters. The movie cost a hefty $175 Million to make, but managed to bring in $600 Million at the box office.
One would have thought that the time had passed for a sequel to this largely forgotten film, but the producers clearly believe that the franchise still has some life left. The sequel has been largely stuck in development hell, with the film originally scheduled for a 2017 release before being officially cancelled by Dreamworks. Universal Studios acquisition of the Dreamworks studios soon saw the sequel back on the schedule, with a scheduled release date of December 3 2020 now on the cards.
Reynolds, Stone and Cage have all returned to their respective roles, while Peter Dinklage and Leslie Mann have been added to the voice cast. The story is set to concentrate on a conflict between the Crood family and new neighbours the Bettermans, who were willing to guess by the name are a higher class of cavemen.
