The Tyranny of Donkey Kong 2 was released on March 18th, 2022, as the second installment in the Donkey Kong Trilogy; it was largely panned by critics, with criticisms aimed at the plot, script, pacing, direction, runtime and lack of respect to Donkey Kong Jr., but the action sequences, tone, score and performances were praised. The film was the second Nintendo property to become a box-office bomb, grossing over $61 million against a budget of $15 million, and lost over $50 million. A third film, The Tyranny of Donkey Kong 3: The Last Call was released on December 29th 2024, to critical and commercial success and became the best reviewed Donkey Kong film to-date.
