BOSS BABY Sequel to Premiere Same Day on Streaming and in Theaters
By Movieguide® Staff
THE BOSS BABY: FAMILY BUSINESS, the sequel to the Movieguide® Award-Winning THE BOSS BABY will premiere on the same day in theaters and on streaming through NBC’s Peacock service.
The decision will move the premiere up from September to July 2.
According to Variety,
This is the first time that Universal Filmed Entertainment Group is capitalizing on its frosh Peacock service with a theatrical-day-and-date release, even though other studios like Disney and WarnerMedia have already attempted this with their own respective streaming services.
The Boss Baby: Family Business will play on the two uppermost premium tiers of Peacock, which cost subscribers $4.99 and $9.99 a month; the uppermost tier has zero commercials.
Movieguide® previously lauded THE BOSS BABY as the 2017 Best Movie for Families and nominated it for our Epiphany Prize®.
Movieguide reviewed:
THE BOSS BABY is a delightful animated comedy. Seven-year-old Tim has the perfect life, until he gets a baby brother. Suddenly, the baby totally consumes his father and mother’s attention. One night, Tim hears talking from the baby’s room. He opens the door and sees the baby talking on the phone! Tim questions the baby, who tells Tim he’s on a mission from Heaven to stop the company where Tim’s parents work, the Puppy Company. The company is trying to make the best puppy ever so people will stop having babies. Tim must help the Boss Baby halt this horrible scheme to get his life back.
THE BOSS BABY is an hilarious, heartwarming movie with strong pro-life, pro-family, pro-business messages. The entire movie’s based on the premise of promoting people having babies instead of just buying puppies. As such, it has a strong Christian, moral worldview with positive references to Heaven, angels, Jesus, and sacrifice. There’s a lot of slapstick comedy, with characters hitting one another, but the story and animation are colorful and creative. BOSS BABY is a great movie for families.
However, just because an original movie is family-friendly with strong biblical lessons doesn’t mean its sequel will contain the same inspirational elements.
For example, Movieguide® praised TROLLS as one of the Best Movies for Families in 2016, but found TROLLS: WORLD TOUR to be extremely disappointing, with a romantic worldview that promoted disobedience.
