In April 2009 Warner Bros. set director Todd Phillips to write a sequel to ''The Hangover'' with Scot Armstrong. The dealmaking came two months before the first “Hangover” went out through Warner Bros. on June 5, 2009. While studios often wait to see box office results before committing to a sequel, “The Hangover” tested strongly, and a trailer brought down the house at ShoWest.<ref name="sequel">{{cite news |date=2009-04-05 |last=Fleming |first=Michael |title=WB gets tipsy with 'Hangover' sequel |url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118002135.html |work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |publisher=[[Reed Business Information]] |accessdate=2009-06-09}}</ref>
