Shrek 2, the beloved animated movie, is making a comeback to theaters in the US to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Starting on April 12, Cinemark and AMC locations across the country will be screening the film for one week. This is a great opportunity for fans of the movie to relive the magic on the big screen once again.
Cinemark is offering tickets for Shrek 2 at $10 each, while AMC has listed them at $5 per ticket. It is advisable to check with your local theater to confirm if they are participating in the re-release of the movie. Additionally, other cinema chains may also be offering screenings of Shrek 2, so keep an eye out for more options.
Originally released in May 2004, Shrek 2 received two Academy Award nominations, one for Best Animated Feature Film and another for Best Original Song for Counting Crows’ “Accidentally in Love.” Despite not winning these awards, the movie was a huge success. The film features an all-star cast including Mike Myers as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey, Cameron Diaz as Fiona, and Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots. Additionally, Julie Andrews and John Cleese lent their voices to the characters of the Queen and King.
Future of the Shrek Franchise
Following the success of Shrek 2, the franchise continued with sequels like Shrek the Third in 2007 and Shrek Forever After in 2010. There are reports of a Shrek 5 in development, which could see the original cast returning to reprise their roles. Fans also enjoyed holiday specials such as Shrek the Halls and Scared Shrekless, as well as spin-off series featuring Puss in Boots. However, despite suggestions from Eddie Murphy, a spin-off for the character of Donkey has not yet materialized.
In recent news, THQ Nordic denied rumors of a Shrek 2 game remake, sparking speculation that there may indeed be plans for such a project in the works. While nothing has been confirmed, it will be interesting to see if a new version of the popular game will be released in the future. Only time will tell if fans can expect more exciting developments from the world of Shrek.
