Woof. If there ever was a need for a necro-ing...
So!
Good news and Bad news!
The good news is that the sequel called Paddington 2 is indeed a thing and has already become a thing in the UK since November 10th, where it's a hit!
The bad news is that while The Weinstein Company was set to distribute it in the US as they did with the first one, recent accusations made toward Harvey Weinstein got TWC in hot water (to put it mildly). So they were scrambling to sell off the US license for Paddington 2 to the highest bidder.
And the more good news is that said highest bidder turned out to be Warner Bros.!
So yeah, the movie's still set to appear in the USA on January 12, 2018.
Have an international trailer!

So I actually wound up seeing it, despite not having any kids in tow. We got there when it was free for Family Day for everyone apparently not just kids, we were hoping not to though so the theatre would be less crowded still it worked. It was good, and the kids around us found it quite funny, though they were very concerned when Paddington's uncle died.
