Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monster Vacation doet het heel erg goed in de bioscopen en brengt bakken met geld binnen. De regisseur die hier verantwoordelijk voor is, is Genndy Tartakovsky en deze had recent een interview met de website Collider en daar van kan je hier onder een klein stukje lezen. Want er waren nog al wat uitdagingen en was het werken met legendarische komiek Mel Brooks uiteraard iets heel unieks.

So the first movie was successful, and then the second one was more successful. Were you a little surprised at the growth of the franchise?

TARTAKOVSKY: Yeah. I mean, I think it really grew internationally, a lot bigger. Here, domestically, it definitely did more, but not to the ... I think it did like 20 million more or something, right. So there was still a thirst for it, but I felt like it wasn't a hundred percent yet, like we still haven't captured ... it hasn't clipped a hundred percent. Internationally it kind of did, and was I surprised? No, I go through these things by the seat of my pants, and it's so hard to make a movie, and there's so many ups and downs and ins and outs that I don't think about ... you don't think about the big picture.

Collider: Being honest, the entire reason you made this movie was to work with Mel Brooks?

TARTAKOVSKY: Always, yes. Working with Mel is ... Look, I mean he's my comedy inspiration. I grew up on his films, I've analyzed them, so it's just the biggest perk in the world to work with him.
