With October being spooky season and all, families turned to MGM's animated comedy The Addams Family 2 for their at-home entertainment . The animated sequel about everyone's favorite creepy and kooky family became the number one movie on Vudu this past weekend, topping James Gunn's The Suicide Squad and Ryan Reynolds-led action-comedy Free Guy.
The Addams Family 2 embraced a simultaneous theatrical and on-demand release on October 1. It can be rented on Vudu and most other on-demand services for $14.99.
The Addams Family 2's Halloween theme coupled with its family friendly nature likely played a big part in it leading all other titles in revenue on Vudu. Even among other recent horror thrillers, it fared much better. Old, Don't Breathe 2, and Candyman were all present on the list, coming in at No. 4, No. 6, and No. 9 on the weekly chart. Here's the full list:
- The Addams Family 2
- The Suicide Squad
- Free Guy
- Old
- Black Widow
- Don’t Breathe 2
- Stillwater
- After We Fell
- Candyman (2021)
- Jungle Cruise
The Addams Family 2 takes viewers on a wild road trip as Morticia and Gomez, distraught that their children are growing up and growing farther apart, decide to hit the road in their haunted camper for a family vacation. The film was panned by critics on Rotten Tomatoes with the critical consensus calling the sequel, "Altogether ooky, and not in a good way." The general audience seems to disagree however, as they rate it much more favorably with a 69%.
