Hotel Transylvania 2

Sony, Columbia

September 25, 2015

Hotel Transylvania has gone through several changes since Johnny first stumbled onto it: the hotel is now open to human guests. Mavis and Johnny have a baby boy named Dennis, whose lack of any vampire abilities worries his grandfather, Dracula.

When Mavis and Johnny go on a visit to Johnny's parents Mike and Linda, Dracula calls his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne, Griffin and Blobby, to help him put Dennis through a "monster-in-training" boot camp.

Production

Genndy Tartakovsky, the director of the film, commented in October 2012, about the possibility of the sequel: "Everyone is talking about it, but we haven't started writing it. There are a lot of fun ideas we could totally play with. 

It's a ripe world." On November 9, 2012, it was announced that a sequel has been greenlit, and is scheduled for release on September 25, 2015. On March 12, 2014, it was announced Tartakovsky will return to direct the sequel, even though he originally was too busy due to his developing an adaptation of Popeye.
