The Portokalos family is back!
The Big Picture Multihyphenate Nia Vardalos’ third installment in the My Big Fat Greek Wedding franchise is going strong commercially. The movie has by far amassed $23.9 million worldwide at the box office in its second weekend — with $5.3 million coming from overseas, and $18.5 at the domestic box office. With a returning cast and writer/director Vardalos back at the helm, the feature tells yet another heartwarming tale of love and cultural exchange.
What to Expect from ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3?’ In continuation with its predecessors, the latest installment sees the Portokalos family on a trip to Greece after patriarch Gus’ death — Gus died in the franchise after the real-life passing of the actor Michael Constantine — to deliver his journal to his friends in the Greek village, where he grew up.
Overall the feature hits the nostalgic bone with a new love story that mirrors Toula and Ian's from the first movie. While the first two features were based in Chicago, the Greek scenery this time around gives a picturesque touch to the movie. The original feature celebrated the union of different cultures, dealing with one’s own crazy family while planning a wedding — making it all the more relatable to audiences around the world.
The movie cast returning members including Vardalos as Fotoula "Toula" Portokalos, John Corbett as Ian Miller, Louis Mandylor as Nick Portokalos, Elena Kampouris as Paris Miller, Lainie Kazan as Maria Portokalos, Andrea Martin as Theia Voula, and Gia Carides as Cousin Nikki. Further rounding off the cast are Joey Fatone as Cousin Angelo, Maria Vacratsis as Theia Freida, Elias Kacavas as Aristotle, Gerry Mendicino as Uncle Taki, and Melina Kotselou as Victory.
