The bonus features show an alternate ending featuring the after-party of Thor's play. It is set at school instead of a private residence, and it is Lucas rather than Max who says the line about it being cool how Thor "stabbed that pimp" in the play, with Thor stating that Mr. K. said that was exactly "how that happened" (this made Jacob Tremblay start laughing off-screen). Most notably, in this ending, Max is still dating Brixlee (Millie Davis), whereas in the theatrical ending, they have broken up and he has brought another girl. Other than that, the endings are practically the same.
