Daddy Day Care

On the data. THREE FILMS AND THAT IS ALL. No fourth film, no television series, no short, no reboot and nothing announced. The Numbers' franchise page lists three titles and searches through 2026 turn up nothing new. DADDY DAY CAMP WAS IN CINEMAS, which surprises people. It opened wide on 8 August 2007 in 2,332 cinemas, reaching 2,814 at its widest, and took 18.2 million dollars worldwide. Box Office Mojo and The Numbers both carry full theatrical figures for it. It performed badly and is remembered as though it went straight to disc, and it did not. GRAND-DADDY DAY CARE DID GO STRAIGHT TO DISC. The Numbers labels its release detail direct-to-video with no box office at all, and it was made under a 2015 agreement between Revolution Studios and Universal 1440 Entertainment covering sequels, prequels and spin-offs of the Revolution library for non-theatrical formats. It is the only entry here that never played in a cinema. RECASTING IS NOT A BREAK IN CONTINUITY, and this franchise is the clearest example on the site. Daddy Day Camp replaces every returning actor and is still unambiguously the same story about the same people: the same Charlie Hinton, the same wife, the same son, the same business partner, the same day care. Who plays a part and who the part is are two different questions. WHY THE 2019 FILM IS ON THIS PAGE AT ALL, since it is a close call. For: Revolution Studios produced all three, the disc carries an explicit based-on-characters credit back to the 2003 film, Charlie Hinton appears, the plot runs on the original business and its permit, and both The Numbers and Wikipedia file it as the third title in the series. Against: no actor, writer, director or producer carries over, the distributor changed from Sony to Universal, and the concept is inverted into a seniors day care. It is included and labelled, rather than quietly counted as a sequel. ONE DETAIL IS STRONGLY SUPPORTED RATHER THAN NAILED DOWN. That the Charlie in the 2019 film is the same Charlie Hinton, surname and all, rests on a Wikipedia cast listing plus a thinner Letterboxd one, with a DVD Talk review independently confirming the Daddy Day Care permit plot. The plot function reads as the same man. It has not been checked against the film's own credits. ONE RUMOUR THAT WAS NEVER A DEAL. In August 2003 the Hollywood Reporter said Eddie Murphy could be set to reprise the role in a planned Daddy Day Camp, with writers hired. No deal with Murphy was ever in place and the film arrived four years later with him replaced. ONE ERROR WORTH NOT REPEATING. Wikipedia's film series page has the character Max appearing in the 2007 and 2019 films. Max was played by Max Burkholder in 2003 and by Dallin Boyce in 2007, and no Max is in any 2019 cast list. He is a 2003 to 2007 carryover, not a 2019 one. NO CROSSOVERS. Nothing here continues a story from another franchise and nothing elsewhere finishes a story started here.
