What happens

Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation (released internationally as Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monster Vacation) is a 2018 American animated monster comedy film directed by Genndy Tartakovsky and written by Tartakovsky and Michael McCullers. Produced by Sony Pictures Animation, it is the third film in the Hotel Transylvania franchise. Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Kevin James, David Spade, Steve Buscemi, Keegan-Michael Key, Molly Shannon, Fran Drescher, and Mel Brooks reprise their roles from previous installments, with Kathryn Hahn and Jim Gaffigan joining the cast. In the film, Dracula finds love with a ship captain named Ericka while on a vacation on a luxury cruise liner with his family and friends, but it is revealed that she is actually the great-granddaughter of his arch-nemesis, Abraham Van Helsing. The film was announced in November 2015. Tartakovsky confirmed his return in June 2016 after receiving inspiration from a "miserable" family vacation and the Chevy Chase National Lampoon's Vacation movies. The title was revealed in November 2017. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 13, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on July 13. The film received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics and grossed $528 million against a budget of $65–80 million, making it the highest-grossing film in the series. A further sequel, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania, was released in 2022, while a spin-off series, Motel Transylvania, is scheduled to premiere on Netflix in 2027. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
