AceShowbiz - This summer's hit comedy "Bad Moms" starring Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn is getting a spin-off. According to The Hollywood Reporter, STX Entertainment announced on Monday, October 10 that the upcoming movie titled "Bad Dads" would be released in U.S. theaters on July 14, 2017.
"Where other studios have automatically green lit traditional and significantly more expensive sequels, STX has determined those sequels on average are grossing 68 percent less than the originals," STX said in a statement announcing "Bad Dads", adding that additional details about the project would be announced shortly.
The studio revealed that they would be pursuing other ways to capitalize on the "Bad Moms" brand, saying, "Instead, STX has chosen to focus on extending consumer passion for the 'Bad Moms' brand with a series of film spin-offs, a reality television show, short form digital content, and a robust consumer products program."
"Bad Moms", which was produced on $20 million budget, has grossed nearly $180 million worldwide at the box office, making it the most successful release by far for two-year-old STX. The film was directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore from a script they co-wrote. Jay Hernandez, Jada Pinkett Smith and Christina Applegate are also among the cast members.
