In The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, SpongeBob (Tom Kenny) and his zany comrades battle Burger-Beard the Pirate (Antonio Banderas) in order to retrieve the stolen Krabby Patty secret formula and save Bikini Bottom.
The sequel to 2004’s The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie mixes its classic underwater animation (directed by Paul Tibbitt) with live-action sequences (directed by Mike Mitchell) as SpongeBob travels above water for the first time on the big screen.
The Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies production is expected to debut in the $35 million to $40 million range during its first weekend at the box office.
