STX Entertainment is launching Bad Moms Christmas as a sequel to its hit comedy Bad Moms, set for November 3, 2017, release date.
Jon Lucas and Scott Moore will co-direct from their own script with stars Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn reprising their characters. The film will be produced by Suzanne Todd and executive produced by Bill Block; the duo produced “Bad Moms.”
Bad Moms, which focused on over-stressed mothers, was produced for $20 million and took in more than $180 million worldwide when it was released earlier this year.
In Bad Moms Christmas, the trio must deal with the stresses of their own mothers visiting for the holidays.
STX announced in October that it was planning a Bad Dads movie as a spinoff from its “Bad Moms” comedy and would release the film on July 14, 2017. No castings have been announced yet.
Bad Moms is the most successful release for two-year-old STX.
Bad Moms Christmas is only the second title to land on the November 3 date and will open against Disney-Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok.
