The Smurfs 2

The Smurfs 2 is a 2013 American fantasy comedy film loosely based on the comic book series created by Peyo. Directed by Raja Gosnell and written by J. David Stem, David N. Weiss, Jay Scherick, David Ronn, and Karey Kirkpatrick, it serves as a sequel to The Smurfs (2011), and is the second installment of the Smurfs film series. Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays, Katy Perry, Jonathan Winters, Anton Yelchin, George Lopez, and Hank Azaria reprise their roles from the first film, with Brendan Gleeson, Jacob Tremblay, Christina Ricci, and J. B. Smoove joining the cast.

The Smurfs 2 was released theatrically on July 31, 2013, by Sony Pictures Releasing. Like its predecessor, the film was panned by critics, but wasn't as successful as the original, as it grossed $347.5 million against a $105 million budget. A sequel, The Smurfs 3, was initially planned for a summer 2015 release, but was cancelled in favor of a fully animated reboot, Smurfs: The Lost Village, which was released on April 7, 2017, and directed by Kelly Asbury, with Sony and Kerner returning to produce the film while having a new cast.
