Phil Lord and Chris Miller are continuing their run of starting off successful animated franchises, before heading off and leaving the sequels to someone else.

The success of The LEGO movie continues with the film topping to US box office for a third week, taking an impressive $31.4 million. That makes for a total of $183 million so far. After this success, it’s little surprise Warner is already moving forward with a sequel.
