Saw the film last night. Saying it’s a John wick ripoff would be a compliment.No one talking about M3GAN 2.0 bombing? Had no idea it dropped last week.
I’d bet money nobody wanted to see adult Megan. Add it on top to looking like a John Wick spinoff. Yeah, no bueno.
One thing about 2.0 is the audience scores are actually really good. But I'm not interested because it looks like an action-comedy
The marketing flopped bad. The first movie blew up partially off the strength of a two second viral clip of Megan dancing. They chased that viral moment and got nothing out of it.
The sad thing is it'll still make a profit. It was a 25 million dollar project and made 17 million off global and domestic sales in week one. So it's a flop compared to the original, but it'll probably still bring some extra money in. Just nowhere near what they projected. I've mentioned this before, but I think the best comparison is Don't Breath 2. They had a surprise hit and decided to turn a serious threatening villain into a kind of anti-hero. That one also managed to be profitable but was a major flop compared to its predecessor.
Hate to say it, especially for Thunderbolts, but both of those films did lose money in the end with their theatrical runs.
Were the other two aside from Companion any good? Not my favorite sub-genre, but willing to peep.There's been a few AI Boyfriend/girlfriend gone bad horror movies. That and pregnancy horror have been the most abundant imo.
Then SoulM8te and this movie Apple Studios Lands Hot Package ‘Dolly’ With Florence Pugh On Board To Star And Vanessa Taylor And Drew Pearce Penning The Script
