The California Film Commission announces that “Michael 2,” the sequel to Lionsgate’s “Michael,” receives $30.8 million in California tax credits, helping fund production planned for work in the state. The approval places the sequel among 35 feature film projects selected in the latest round of incentives.
Across outlets, the reporting is consistent that the incentives are part of California’s film-tax-credit program and are tied to production activity in California. Variety and Deadline note that “Michael 2” is one of multiple sequels and projects receiving support, and cite both the specific credit amount for “Michael 2” and the broader pool of incentives approved in this funding round. Los Angeles Times similarly highlights that the list includes other major productions, such as a new Pixar film, alongside the “Michael” sequel. ComingSoon.net focuses on the financial impact for “Michael 2” ahead of its production.
