About the Film

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is a 2009 American fantasy comedy directed by Shawn Levy, the sequel to his 2006 hit. Ben Stiller returns as Larry Daley, now a successful inventor whose former museum friends at the American Museum of Natural History are being shipped to the archives of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Amy Adams joined the cast as Amelia Earhart, bringing infectious enthusiasm as a pioneering aviator delighted to be brought to life.

The expanded Smithsonian setting allowed for creative encounters with the Lincoln Memorial, paintings coming to life, and space shuttle launches. The film earned $413 million worldwide on a $150 million budget.
