• Nobody 2 collected $1.3 million in Thursday previews across roughly 3,200 North American theaters and is tracking for a $10–12 million opening weekend against summer competition.
• Universal and 87North backed the modestly budgeted sequel at about $25 million in hopes of replicating the original’s sleeper-hit returns with a wide theatrical rollout.
• Timo Tjahjanto makes his Hollywood debut by shifting the series to a sunlit amusement-park setting and emphasizing larger, clearer action-comedy set pieces.
• Critics are split over the sequel’s execution, with many praising Bob Odenkirk’s committed physical performance and fight choreography while faulting a thin script and underwritten Sharon Stone villain.
• Odenkirk’s two-year stunt training underlines his commitment to the role and he has signaled willingness to continue the franchise pending this installment’s reception.
