"There was no possible way we could have done a sequel to 'Freaky Friday' until Lindsay (who is 39) was old enough chronologically to be the mother of a 15-year-old," Curtis said.

With $29 million domestically and another $15 million from overseas markets, the movie has grossed $44 million in its global box office debut. Freakier Friday cost a reported $40 million to produce, and it serves as a grand theatrical comeback for 2000s star Lindsay Lohan.
