Principal photography on the film began on April 27, 2015, in New York City. It was released on June 3, 2016, by Paramount Pictures. The film received generally mixed reviews from critics, with some deeming it a slight improvement over its predecessor. However, it was a box-office bomb and grossed only $245 million against a $135 million budget, resulting in a planned third film being scrapped in favor of an animated reboot, released on August 2, 2023.
