Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Movie 2 in 2018?

Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie is a 2014 British-Irish comedy film based on the sitcom Mrs. Brown's Boys and is co-produced by That's Nice Films, Penalty Kick Films and BocFlix. BBC Films is acting as sales agent and it was distributed by Universal Pictures. It was written by series creator (and company director of both That's Nice Films and Bocflix) Brendan O'Carroll, who also plays the lead role. The film sees Agnes Brown go to court to protect her family's stall at Dublin's Moore Street market from a corrupt Russian businessman who wishes to convert it into a shopping centre. The film was released on 27 June to negative reviews from critics. It topped the UK and Ireland box office with £4.3 million in its opening weekend, on a budget of £3.6 million, and retained top spot for a second week. On 27 October it was released on home media, again topping the charts.

It was previously stated that "Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Movie 2 has been delayed due to Brexit, according to the show’s creator, Brendan O’Carroll."

"O’Carroll, who writes and stars as Agnes “Mammy” Brown, told the Sun that the sequel’s funding has become insecure thanks to the volatile post-Brexit market. “We were planning to do it this year, but the numbers weren’t right,” said O’Carroll. “The Brexit drop in sterling makes it a lot more expensive for the studio than it would have been previously.”

O’Carroll plans to make the film once the pound stabilises. “The plot and outline are there and ready to go,” he said. “We know what’s going to happen and how we’re going to do it.”

The first Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Movie film was a hit at the British box office, with the adaptation of the hit BBC1 sitcom pulling in £4.3m in its opening weekend, defying analyst’s expectations. It went on to take £28m.

O’Carroll had previously suggested the film would be the first of a trilogy, one of which would put the focus on a new character, Mr Wang. Wang, a white man who thinks he’s Chinese, is also played by O’Carroll. The part was originally written for Burt Kwouk, who died earlier this year.

Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Movie received damning reviews from critics and has a 7% score from reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes. The Guardian’s Mike McCahill called the film “a flatly indifferent cash-in”.
