Blumhouse Boss Gets Candid on Disastrous M3GAN 2.0 Box Office: ‘We All Thought M3GAN Was Like Superman’

  • Following its June 27 release, M3GAN 2.0 underperformed compared to the original, raising doubts about a third film and future sequels.
  • Blumhouse's underperformance of M3GAN 2.0 was driven by stiff summer competition from F1, How to Train Your Dragon, and a genre shift from horror to action, impacting its opening figures.
  • Data shows M3GAN 2.0 earned $10.2 million domestically and $17 million worldwide, debuting in fifth place behind major summer blockbusters.
  • Following its underperformance, a third M3GAN film is unlikely soon, with a spin-off scheduled for January 2026, prompting Blumhouse to reevaluate its franchise plans.
  • Within Blumhouse, the studio is reassessing its ambitious 10-title per year slate amid market saturation and recent box office failures, including M3GAN 2.0.
