The film was released theatrically on May 22, 2009 by 20th Century Fox. Like its predecessor, it received mixed critical reception and a box office success by grossing over $413 million on a $150 million budget.
Larry Daley, former night guard at the American Museum of Natural History, now runs his own direct response television company that sells inventions based on his experiences. He returns to the museum, discovering most of the exhibits will be moved to the Federal Archives at the Smithsonian Institution and replaced with holographic information providers. The Tablet of Akmenrah is to remain in the museum, leaving most of the exhibits without the ability to come to life at night. After the exhibits are moved, Larry receives a phone call from the cowboy Jedediah that Dexter the monkey stole the Tablet and took it to the Smithsonian. Larry travels to Washington, DC, navigating his way to the archives with help from his son Nick while posing as a night guard.
