‚M3GAN 2.0‘ has underperformed at the box office, and studio boss Jason Blum has some ideas why.
After the smash success of 2022’s M3GAN, it was easy to assume the inevitable sequel would do the same. But M3GAN 2.0 has yet to catch on like its predecessor, so far yielding disappointing box-office returns and putting talk of a trilogy, not to mention a M3GAN cinematic universe beyond next year’s sexbot spin-off, SOULM8TE, in doubt. In a new interview, Blumhouse boss Jason Blum shared his thoughts on the disappointing situation.
On The Town podcast (via the Wrap), Blum ticked off the reasons for M3GAN 2.0‘s diminishing returns, including releasing the sequel in the more competitive summer season (the original went wide in early January, after a December premiere), as well as the accelerated timeline for its completion.
