The film, which features voice-overs from Katherine Heigl, Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph, did better than expected at the box office, raking in $25.7 million in North America. Now, Open Road Films will make a follow-up film titled The Nut Job 2.

It is unclear whether Heigl, Arnett and Rudolph will be returning for the sequel.
