Universal Pictures has officially announced the launch date for “Violent Night 2“. This update provides a crucial piece of information about the sequel’s release after Thanksgiving. The movie is scheduled to premiere in early December, with David Harbour reprising his role as Santa in the action-packed holiday spin-off.
David Harbour-led Violent Night 2 gets 2026 release date
Violent Night 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on Wednesday, December 4, 2026.
It has been officially announced that Universal Pictures will be releasing the sequel to the hit 2022 holiday action-comedy, originally successful in its run. Once again at the helm is director Tommy Wirkola, while Pat Casey and Josh Miller rejoin the team as screenwriters.
In a new development, David Harbour once more takes on the unusual Santa Claus character. The follow-up film preserves its collaboration between Universal Pictures and 87North Productions, with Kelly McCormick and David Leitch set to produce once more, as reported by Deadline.
In simple terms, the initial release of “Violent Night” took place around early December 2022. During its first weekend, it generated a domestic box office revenue of approximately $13.4 million. The movie ultimately earned $50 million in the United States and Canada, along with an additional $76 million internationally. All this was achieved on a production budget of just $20 million.
As a gamer, I’m always on the lookout for the perfect release date for my next favorite game. And when it comes to movies, especially those in the horror or genre category, December 4 seems like a golden ticket! This slot has historically been a hit with audiences, hosting successful, low-budget productions that have sent chills down our spines.
Just look at Beyoncé’s AMC’s Renaissance: The film raked in an impressive $21.8 million during its opening weekend but went on to make even more, ending with a grand total of $33.8 million. Now that’s a box office success story! So here’s hoping my favorite genre movie finds the same luck come December 4!
As a thrilled fan, I’m eagerly counting down the days until June 13, 2025, when Universal unveils their live-action take on How to Train Your Dragon! Initial predictions suggest a strong domestic debut of anywhere between $65 million and $75 million, with global earnings projected to reach as high as $185 million! Can’t wait to experience this magical journey all over again!
The movie “Violent Night” featured David Harbour, John Leguizamo, Alex Hassell, and Beverly D’Angelo. It revolved around a confrontation between a grumpy Santa and a gang of mercenaries during a Christmas-time hostage crisis. The next film picks up where we left off, with Santa – played by Harbour – embarking on another adventure.
For the sequel, Violent Night 2, the same imaginative and technical crew as the first film will be on board, with an aim to replicate the box office success of its November release in December.
