About Movie:
After the release of Den of Thieves in 2018, the development of a sequel was in the works with plans for Christian Gudegast to return as director and writer, as well as for Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr. to return and reprise their roles.
The film was originally slated to begin filming in 2022. Principal photography took place from April to July 2023 in the United Kingdom and the Canary Islands.
The production transformed several aspects of the main streets in Santa Cruz de Tenerife for the shoot, such as building up a police station and jewelry store and setting up a local bar to appear French.
Originally set to be distributed by STX Entertainment, as with the first film, Briarcliff Entertainment purchased the film for distribution in the United States in May 2023 with Sierra/Affinity handling international sales of the film with a wide theatrical release being planned in the United States for late 2024. However, in May 2024, Lionsgate was announced to have distribution rights as part of their acquisition of financiers Entertainment One (later rebranded to Lionsgate Canada) from Hasbro in December 2023, with the film released in the United States on January 10, 2025.
