This second stage of the story unfolds during a time where the aftermath of disastrous dimensional conflict is still present, and more master builders inadvertently rise up, as the infamous Fundamental Elements are unveiled. Lord Vortech finally begins collecting the pieces, when The Resistance, with many new allies, once again face their greatest adversary.

Box office performance
The LEGO Extended Universe films are the highest-grossing animated film franchise of all time worldwide, both unadjusted and adjusted for inflation, having grossed over $8.9 billion at the worldwide box office, with Wave Two accounting for $6.1 billion of the total. It is the highest-grossing set of films in the franchise, more than doubling Wave One's $2.7 billion gross, with five out of seven of his films grossing an average of $700 million at the worldwide box office and a steady 81%, with Break the Rules Episode 1 and Episode 2 grossing over $1 billion. As a result, Episode 1 enters the top 15 highest-grossing animated films and Episode 2 the 13th highest-grossing animated film, unadjusted for inflation. Neither of the two films entered the Top 50 highest grossing films (being the first films to reach $1 billion not to enter the top). Lego Dimensions: Original Cut was an HBO Max exclusive release, so it doesn't have a raw recommendation.
