In this third Hotel Transylvania picture, Dracula is lonely and looking for love. While vacationing on a luxurious Monster Cruise Ship, Dracula falls for the ship’s mysterious captain Ericka, voiced by Kathryn Hahn. Mavis (Gomez) steps into the role of the overprotective parent, trying to keep her Dad as far away as possible from Ericka, whose true identity links her to Dracula’s ancient archenemy, Abraham Van Helsing.

Released in 2012 and 2015, both previous installments in the franchise proved box-office hits, grossing US$358 million (RM1.39 billion) and US$473 million worldwide respectively.
