Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again opened in U.S. cinemas on July 20, 2018. According to Variety, it 'might not have nabbed the box office crown, but its domestic debut is still something to sing about.' With a summer filled with big superhero blockbuster films, the Mamma Mia! sequel opened with $34 million domestically and $76.4 million globally, which is a promising start for the upbeat jukebox musical.
With the recent theatrical release of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, the stars are beginning to buzz about the potential for a third ABBA film. But according to Entertainment Weekly, it doesn't seem likely that we'll be making a return trip to the Grecian island just yet.
Let's be honest: it doesn't really matter what I, or any critic, have to say about Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again. We know what we're signing up for: campy, fun covers of ABBA songs, a plot that only sort of matters, a bunch of stars having an absolute blast, and pretty island panoramas. The movie's soundtrack, much like its predecessor, rides more on the delightful fun of the songs than on their emotional depth or Broadway-ready performances. The key difference between this soundtrack and the 2008 original is that the former plays, at least in part, to audiences' affection for the latter. In fact, several moments correspond almost directly, giving us a chance to see how far these characters have (or have not) come, which covers for the fact that most of these songs are pulled from ABBA's second tier.
Hoy llega a los cines de todo el mundo la esperadisima secuela de MAMMA MIA!titulada MAMMA MIA! HERE I GO AGAIN (en España se ha optado por recurrir a la letra en castellano que cantaba ABBA para esta cancion, titulandola MAMMA MIA! UNA Y OTRA VEZen lugar de utilizar la letra cantada en la version teatral, supongo que porque MAMMA MIA! OTRA VEZ IGUAL no quedaba tan comercialmente atractivo).
You can most certainly dance, jive and have the time of your life at Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. The sequel to Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman's 2008 romantic comedy, based on the stage show created by Catherine Johnson, opens in UK cinemas on 20 July.
Mamma Mia - Here we go again is a real feel good movie and if you loved Mamma Mia I'm sure you will love this too. The story in Mamma Mia is not that strong and the story in the sequel is weaker but it doesn't matter as it is build around the music of Abba, songs we all know and love.
Get ready to sing and dance, laugh and love all over again! Ten years after Mamma Mia! The Movie grossed more than $600 million around the world, you are invited to return to the magical Greek island of Kalokairi in an all-new original musical based on the songs of ABBA. Let's see what the critics had to say...
