The first “Lego Movie,” released Feb. 7, 2014, made $69 million during its opening weekend and $192 million for the month. It was the most of any film that month. Similarly, “The Lego Batman Movie” was the top sales driver in February 2017, with $135.4 million in ticket sales.
Warner Bros.‘ “The Lego Movie: The Second Part” is the direct sequel to “The Lego Movie” although it was released after “Lego Batman” and “The Lego Ninjago Movie.” It takes place in the same world as the first, a combination of animated Lego blocks and live action.
This film introduces Duplo blocks, larger building blocks designed for younger children, into the mix as Finn, the human boy from the first movie, battles against his little sister, Bianca, who keeps stealing pieces from his Lego sets. Their fighting is played out through new and familiar Lego characters voiced by Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Tiffany Haddish and Alison Brie.
“The Lego Movie 2” is expected to earn around $55 million during its first weekend, on par with the performance of “Lego Batman.” Currently, it has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 91 percent, indicating that the majority of reviews have been positive for the film.
In comparison, “The Lego Movie” was “certified fresh” at 95 percent and “Lego Batman” received at 90 percent fresh rating. “Lego Ninjago” was the only film in the franchise that failed to resonate with critics and audiences. It received a 56 percent rating and brought in only $59 million in U.S. ticket sales.
