Production
Shortly after the release of The God Movie, in February 2011 Joe Hummi announced that he was considering making a sequel. In August 2011, The God Movie 2 was officially announced by Paramount and was set for a 2014 release date. However, in May 2012, Joe stated that due to "creative differences", Paramount was no longer involved in the film, and it was delayed to April 4, 2015. Joe later said that he and Paramount split after Joe wanted a higher share of income from the film, but Paramount refused. In November 2012, Joe revealed that he and Paramount had resolved their disagreements and that Paramount was brought back onto the film. In January 2013, concept art was released online. Work on the animation was slow and tedious, due to the fact that only 6 people were actively working on the film. In December 2013, the film was further delayed to November 4, 2016. Production officially finished on September 26, 2015. The film was renamed to The God Movie 2: Total Eclipse in August 2015. A teaser trailer was posted on YouTube in January 2016. The first official trailer was released in July 2016.

Box office
The film grossed $65 million domestically and $53 million internationally for a total of $118 million, making it a financial success. However, the film was considered to be a minor financial disappointment domestically, as it grossed lower than what Paramount expected it to be, only recovering its budget by $5 million.

Critical reception
The film received negative reviews from critics. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives a rating of 26%, based on 84 reviews, with an average rating of 3.1/10.

Home media
The film will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 2, 2017.
