After grossing over $1 billion worldwide last summer, Disney’s remake of their animated film “Aladdin” will get a theatrically released sequel, multiple individuals with knowledge of the project confirmed to TheWrap.
The sequel will be produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Ehrich of Rideback, who produced the live-action film starring Mena Massoud as Aladdin and Will Smith as the powerful Genie he frees from a magic lamp. The film was released on Memorial Day weekend last year and grossed $355 million domestically and $1.05 billion worldwide, making it one of a record seven billion-dollar hits that Disney released in 2019.
