‘The Secret Life of Pets 2’ Gets 2018 Release Date on Heels of Massive Box Office

Illumination Entertainment can now boast two franchises under its banner. The animation studio hit big with Despicable Me, spawning the highly successful Despicable Me 2 and Minions, and now the studio can firmly count The Secret Life of Pets as its second major franchise property. The talking animal-centric feature crossed $400 million worldwide at the box office today, having amassed an insane $300.3 million at the domestic box office alone after scoring the highest opening weekend for an original film ever. And Illumination is marking the occasion by officially announcing The Secret Life of Pets 2.

The studio will release the sequel on July 13, 2018, so fans won’t have to wait too long to see the continued adventures of the titular animals. The project currently has that weekend all to itself, but will open one week after Ant-Man and the Wasp and one week before Alita: Battle Angel.

Directed by Illumination stalwarts Chris Renaud and Yarrow Cheney, The Secret Life of Pets revolves around the life of pets while their owners are at work, boasting an impressive voice cast that includes Louis C.K., Jenny Slate, and Eric Stonestreet. Unfortunately, the film also continues the tradition of somewhat lazy storytelling from the Illumination team, as the picture boasts an incredibly formulaic narrative, easy jokes, and a plot that resembles Toy Story a little too closely.

But audiences ate it up, and now we’ll probably be seeing Secret Life of Pets sequels every two years from here to eternity. Renaud will return to direct The Secret Life of Pets 2, which will also see the return of screenwriter Brian Lynch.

I was wondering what took them so long. My kid will be thrilled. He loved the first one. Now I just have to get him to understand why I can't buy it on Blu-ray right after we see the movie in theaters.

If this gets a sequel and not Ghostbusters, I'll be pretty annoyed.

One made money, the other didn't. Get over it.

bowlingbilly10 · 08-02-2016, 06:51 PM

I'm surprised they didn't announce it a week after it come out and sweet it's coming out on my birthday that year!

Chaotic · 08-02-2016, 06:52 PM

Yes please.

This Dalek guy is making me hate Ghostbusters.

Looks like you're going to be pretty annoyed then.

DanTheMan · 08-02-2016, 06:53 PM

Definitely co-sign the sequel. Fell in love with every character from the original.

Which doesn't really mean anything. I'm pretty much always annoyed.

First animated feature for Ford?

So, who's replacing Louis C.K?

Possibly Ford, or they'll have a new main character take over.

DanTheMan · 04-25-2018, 06:14 PM

Gidget (Jenny Slate) is still my favorite of the bunch. Her merch was everywhere at Universal Studios.

esteban² · 04-25-2018, 06:42 PM

I hope this is much better than the first. I liked the first ten minutes and the ending a lot. But everything in between was a mixed bag and missed opportunity, imo.

Poya · 04-25-2018, 06:48 PM

Disappointed they didn’t get Mike Judge. Illumination seems to have a hard on for getting adult animation creators into their films lately.

Agree. Slate is perfect for the character.

yep & Patton Oswalt is supposedly the new voice for Max (who was Louis C.K.'s character)
