It has been confirmed the first film in the series has topped the US box office, taking in more than $32 million.

Meanwhile, another of the film's young stars, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, recently told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column that he and co-star O'Brien were lucky to escape injury after discovering two lethal black widow spiders on the set of the first film.
He explained: "There was a scene Dylan and I do by a log ... we did it for hours, and then we got up and a bit of bark fell off and there were two black widows where we were resting our backs.
"It kind of added to the excitement."

Kim Kardashian is set to star in a 'Ted' sequel.
The 33-year-old reality TV star is to make a cameo in the sequel to the 2012 comedy movie starring Mila Kunis and Mark Wahlberg.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Ted loves his women and there are scenes in 'Ted 2' which ask for a curvaceous woman to flirt and twerk with Ted, eventually leading to the bedroom.
"Producers are confident they can get Kim in for the part as she not only has the figure for it, she has a great sense of humour."
The source added that Kanye West, Kim's husband, is a big fan of Seth MacFarlane, the creative force behind the comedy creation of Ted, as well as 'American Dad!' and 'Family Guy'.
The source added: "Kanye thinks Seth MacFarlane is a genius and his favourite TV show is 'American Dad'.

The film is due to hit cinema screens next summer.

Nicolas Cage admits "snarky comments" get him down.
The 'Kick-Ass' actor can't stop himself reading peoples' opinions, and revealed he sometimes cares too much and complains to his wife about what the public have said about him.
He said: "I care about what people think of me. There are plenty of good things I've inherited from my father, but he was also very self-involved and someone who was concerned about how he was perceived.
"Some of the snarky comments people make can get under my skin. I can be a bit of a broken record at home when I read the things that are said about me.
"But I have to just stop belabouring these things and let it go, rather than complaining to my wife all the time."
Meanwhile, the star insisted the world of Hollywood has lost the "mystique" and sense of "romance" it had in the past, with the public choosing to focus on personal lives rather than the on-screen magic.
He told The Times Magazine: "There used to be a mystique and romance surrounding actors.
"But now people are more interested in their lives than their performances.
"It's not about what they do on camera, but what I would describe as their dirty laundry. I've had my share of that."

Roberto Orci has dropped out of the 'Power Rangers.'
The screenwriter-and-producer has been forced to quit as executive producer in the Lionsgate and Haim Saban's upcoming big screen reboot as his 'Star Trek 3' directing obligation has created a schedule clash.
However, Orci's exit won't affect the worldwide release of 'Power Ranges' on July 22, 2016, as Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz will still write the script for the movie and Saban will continue to produce alongside Brian Casentini, according to Deadline.com.
Meanwhile, 'Star Trek 3' is expected to go into production within the next six months after Orci, John D. Payne and Patrick McKay completed the initial draft of the script last month.
The 41-year-old screenwriter, who helped pen JJ Abrams's two 'Star Trek' films with Alex Kurtzman, also has his sights set on directing the movie.
He said earlier this year: "I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch. The studio has yet to even read the script. I'm in the middle of writing it, with the talented team of [John D.] Payne and [Patrick] McKay.
"They are true 'Star Trek' fans, as well. So, I can't even think anything about the future until I give them a script and they greenlight it. Until that happens, everything else is just a rumour."
The sci-fi franchise is expected to see stars such as Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana return, but details are shrouded in secrecy.
There is no release date lined up for 'Star Trek 3' yet, but it is expected to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the franchise in 2016.

Denzel Washington isn't campaigning to play James Bond.
The 'Training Day' star has quashed rumours he is keen to take over the secret agent role from current 007 Daniel Craig and insists his joke about starting a campaign for the part was taken the wrong way.
He told Shortlist magazine: "I was on the phone, and the person on the phone was asking me the questions that were being sent in to her, and so then she was sending out my response to whoever's online. So the was question was, 'Would You play James Bond?' and I said, 'Yeah sure, why not?' and jokingly, 'Yeah, get out there and start a campaign! Denzel for James Bond!'
"But in the translation from the way I said it, to the way she put it down, to the way it went out to the world, you didn't get my sarcasm. You didn't get the irony of it.
"So no, I'm not campaigning to play James Bond. I just answered the question and jokingly said, 'Hey let's get a campaign!' "
The 59-year-old actor was shocked by the results of the misinterpreted Q&A which quickly garnered support on Twitter with the hash tag '#DenzelsJamesBond'.
He added: "I haven't thought about James Bond I was just asked about it. But it's interesting what happens to information. Things like this James Bond thing can just easily happen.
"It's not a bad thing but people think it's fact, you know what I mean? When it's not fact. What happened to the horse's mouth."

Channing Tatum says wrestling is one of the "most painful" things he's ever done.
The 34-year-old actor stars as Olympic medal-winning wrestler Mark Schultz in the film 'Foxcatcher' - which is based on real life events - and while he enjoyed learning the sport, he has no plans to carry on doing it.
He said: "Wrestling is one of the most painful things I've ever done. I've played many sports but none like this. It's the only sport I know where you have no down time, no time to pull away and rest.
"Even in boxing, you can back away and dance around a bit, but in wrestling you're locked in combat with the other guy the whole time, and that's it.
"It was an amazing discipline to learn, but I do not need to do it ever again."
The '21 Jump Street' star - who turned down the role in 'Foxcatcher' when he was first offered it because he felt he hadn't grown up enough to understand the psychological thriller - also admitted his love of sport has led to him becoming a very competitive person.
Quizzed on how competitive he is, he told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "Very, very competitive. I wish I could say I've evolved into the sort of person who's a good loser, but I'm not.
"I'm the kid who is not happy at all if our team loses, and I'll go to pretty much any length to win. I get that from my dad."

John Cusack thinks being a child star is "brutal".
The 'High Fidelity' actor - who appeared in his first film 'Class' aged 16 - believes finding fame at a young age can be a "damaging" experience and feels he's had a lucky escape.
When asked how he felt about the treatment of child stars, he told Shortlist magazine: "Yeah, its brutal. I got into films [at the age] where it can do a lot of damage - 16. I started with people who got damaged.
"But it's different now. It's much worse than it was. Back then, there was an expectation of private life. There were areas you could go and make mistakes [without public attention] because what else were you going to do between the ages of 16 and 25 but make mistakes."
The 48-year-old actor's latest film 'Maps To The Stars' is due out next week and has been described as an extension of "obscene and crazy" Hollywood life, although he insists the movie is "tame" in comparison to the difficulties facing young stars.
He explained to Shortlist magazine: "Here we are in Toronto at the Toronto International Film Festival, and there's a TV channel doing live 'breaking news' coverage that is tracking - in real time - Justin Bieber's movements into a mall. This movie is tame in comparison."

Dame Judi Dench won't be attending the Oscars next year.
The 79-year-old actress - who was nominated for Best Actress this year but missed the ceremony because of filming commitments - insists she "loves" the Academy Awards but isn't planning to be in the audience for the 2015 ceremony.
She said: "No, I don't think I'll attend. I don't imagine so.
"I mean I love them but I never like to speculate on these things."
For the next few months, Judi will be filming a BBC adaptation of 'Richard III' opposite Benedict Cumberbatch and she can't wait to work with the "true gentleman", who she has known since he was just a child.
She explained to the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I knew him when he was a little boy at prep school before he went on to Harrow.
"His mother, Wanda Ventham, was at the Royal Central School of Drama a year ahead of me.
"He is a true gentleman and a thoroughly good actor, which helps. We start on Monday and it's a huge project, six months in filming."
