Re: The Secret Life of Pets 2 I still see profitability based on OS grosses alone. Still, Universal will have to make a tough decision re: whether to greenlight Pets 3. Even if Pets 3 declines from 2, it could theoretically still break even but that's a risk.

Re: The Secret Life of Pets 2 I may see this with my child in a few weeks for his first theater trip. I'll review either then, or when I rent it on redbox.

Re: The Secret Life of Pets 2 I saw it. If they never make another one good riddance. This one might even be worse than the first.

Re: The Secret Life of Pets 2 After seeing it, I think I understand why it made less than half of its predecessor's total. It did not have a main plot like the first movie or any other movies. It had three parallel plots (farm trip, Busy Bee, circus tiger) each with very little to do with the others like a network tv episode. This usually does not work well with movie audiences.
It was an entertaining and mindless movie. It dropped tidbits about cats and dogs here and there that often resonated with real life. As a cartoon for kids (by the way, this one is less violent and warmer than the first), this one was more mature than those cutesy Dog's Purpose movies.

Re: The Secret Life of Pets 2 A very meh sequel. I didn't love the first film but it was pretty fresh and fun with a better story. Pets 2 doesn't really go anywhere, it's light and the animals are still a bit cute but for the most part it's a chore to watch.
