M3GAN did not come to play. With a $30.2M opening, the horror flick has scored: 🔪 best opening for an original horror since Nope 🔪 best opening for a PG-13 horror since A Quiet Place Part II 🔪 & topped the opening weekends of Scream 2022 & Smile
M3GAN has already broken quite a few box office records in its opening weekend. The film, which opened in theaters this past Friday, is the latest horror outing from Blumhouse, reteaming Malignant duo James Wan and Akela Cooper as producer and screenwriter respectively, with Housebound director Gerard Johnstone at the helm.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Per Deadline, M3GAN's box office run is off to a great start in its opening weekend, with a 3-day projected total of $30.2 million in the domestic box office, absolutely blowing away expectations. This means that the film has accomplished a cavalcade of box office records, including nabbing the best opening weekend for an original horror project since Jordan Peele's Nope in July 2022 and for a PG-13 horror film since A Quiet Place Part II in May 2021.
M3GAN's early performance is likely a good sign for the many horror offerings coming over the next 12 months. The rest of winter will see the release of M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin and Scream VI , and the rest of the year has even more horror with a solid chance at box office gold. This includes April's Evil Dead Rise, July's Insidious: Fear the Dark, September's The Nun 2, and October's The Exorcist re-quel and Saw X.
M3GAN 2 Has to Happen Now, Right? Even if the box office for M3GAN drops precipitously next week, considering its $12 million budget, it should already be in the territory where a sequel is in consideration. The film already included a hint that M3GAN may not be so easy to defeat, and the fact that she can be manufactured by anybody with robotics know-how could put her back in action once more.
