Eagerly anticipated horror’s producer explains why ‘0.0 percent watchable’ film flopped
It has been described as 'underwhelming' and 'a downgrade.'
Following the success of M3GAN in 2022, it seems like the horror film’s sequel was guaranteed to be a big hit.
But it so M3GAN 2.0 far holds a rotten 57% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and has failed to score big at the box office.
Directed by Gerard Johnstone, the sequel follows the events of the first film, picking up two years later as Gemma (Allison Williams) has become an advocate for government oversight of AI.
She is forced to resurrect her murderous creation after a defence contractor creates a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, whose self-awareness increases to deadly levels, forcing M3GAN to bring her down.
Violet McGraw, Amie Donald, Jenna Davis, Brian Jordan Alvarez, and Jen Van Epps all reprised their roles from the prior film, while Ivanna Sakhno, Timm Sharp, Aristotle Athari and Jemaine Clement joined the cast.
After being slammed by critics as ‘a downgrade’ and ‘thoroughly middling’, producer Jason Blum has shared why he believed the sequel did not connect with fans.
