After taking over TikTok in a viral dance trend, M3GAN didn’t waste any time taking over the box office, making $30 million domestically on its opening weekend. Since its release on January 6, 2023, the film is close to making $100 million and will likely produce ten times its filming budget.
It’s definitely 2023’s first hit, and in celebration of its grand success, Blumhouse Productions, via THR, just announced that the film is getting a sequel! Not only that, but Jason Blum also confirmed the title for the upcoming sequel and its release date.
M3GAN 2.0 will release theatrically on January 17, 2025, and Allison Williams and Violet McGraw will return as M3GAN’S survivors, Gemma and Cady. Akela Cooper will return as the writer after the first film’s success, and Williams will join as producer alongside Jason Blum and James Wan.
M3GAN director Gerard Johnstone and Amie Donald & Jenna Davis, who plays the killer doll, have not yet signed on for the confirmed sequel, but we hope to see them join the upcoming project.
Considering M3GAN’s stunning critic score and climbing success at the box office, the sequel was a given, but the update was still met with tremendous excitement. The 2025 release date gives Cooper a fair period to come up with Megan’s next killing spree, and we’ll just have to be patient for the next two years.
Will you be returning to theaters to watch Megan play and kill two years later?
