2016 has been another spectacularly busy year for Hart, especially at the movies; his first three releases — “Ride Along 2,” “Central Intelligence,” and “The Secret Life of Pets” — grossed $124 million, $216 million, and over $800 million, respectively. “What Now?”, his third feature-length stand-up movie, will be released by Universal on Oct. 14. It’s the follow-up to his 2013 hit “Let Me Explain,” which became the third-highest grossing live stand-up comedy movie of all time with $32 million domestically. Shot in the comedian’s home town of Philadelphia, at the Lincoln Financial Field stadium on Aug. 3, 2015, before a live audience of 53,000 adoring fans, “What Now?” not only broke more records — he became the first comic to sell out an NFL stadium as a solo act — but ups the ante for stand-up films thanks to its ambitious Bond spoof bookends.
