Seth MacFarlane News
The box-office walk of Seth MacFarlane‘s “Ted 2” isn’t going to match the talk this weekend. The raunchy talking bear sequel sputtered to $13.2 million and third place in its debut Friday, and was muted by heavyweight holdovers “Jurassic World” and Pixar’s “Inside Out.”
Disney’s PG-rated family film was No. 1 with an estimated $14.9 million, while Universal’s blockbuster dinosaur sequel was close behind with $14.6 million.

Say what you like about Seth MacFarlane, Ted was funny, and made a huge amount of money all over the world. Like US$550 million. That's Fast & Furious big. For a comedy, about Marky Mark and a CGI bear with a potty mouth.

But that all changes courtesy of the MTV Movie Awards, which has just debuted the first clip from the anticipated sequel. We also get to see Mark Wahlberg introducing this sneak peek while at a mini-golf course, as he torments his MTV host with the ball, trying to stuff it in his mouth.The clip itself features both Mark Wahlberg and Ted, voiced once again by writer and director Seth MacFarlane.
