The next morning, Danny McBride, who crashed the party and fell asleep, wakes up first and wastes much of the group's food and water due to his ignorance of the crisis.

They take inventory of their supplies, set up a ration system, board up the house, and await help. Several celebrities and party guests are killed as Seth, Jay, James, Jonah Hill and Craig Robinson run back inside the house, where Jay tells the remaining partygoers that the earthquake has destroyed most of Los Angeles. An earthquake strikes, and the crowd rushes outside, witnessing a sinkhole opening up in James' yard. When beams of blue light come down and suck numerous people into the sky, Seth and Jay flee back to James' house and find the party unharmed. There, Jay is uncomfortable at the crowded party, so Seth accompanies him to a convenience store for cigarettes. Jay Baruchel arrives in Los Angeles to visit an old friend and fellow Canadian actor Seth Rogen, who invites him to a housewarming party hosted by James Franco. The film was both a critical and commercial success, receiving positive reviews from critics and grossing $126 million worldwide on a budget of $32–41.9 million. Produced by Mandate Pictures and Rogen and Goldberg's Point Grey Pictures, This Is the End premiered at the Fox Village Theater on June 3, 2013, and was released theatrically in the United States on June 12, by Columbia Pictures. Starring James Franco, Jonah Hill, Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Michael Cera and Emma Watson, the film centers on fictionalized versions of its cast in the wake of a global biblical apocalypse. It is a feature-length film adaptation of the short film Jay and Seth Versus the Apocalypse (2007), which was also written by Rogen and Goldberg with the short's director, Jason Stone, serving as an executive producer. This Is the End is a 2013 American apocalyptic comedy film written, directed and produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, in their directorial debuts.
