Meg 2: The Trench (aka 2 Meg 2 Furious) | August 4, 2023 | Filming starts now

[SchumacherFTW]

This is going to be the greatest movie of all time, I need it NOW! 

[Krissykins]

This looks silly and fun, but I bet it’ll have a huge drop from the first film at the box office because the first one didn’t deliver on its promise. 
 

I’d rather the Meg was finally eating people instead of dinosaurs. 
 

And the “this looks ridiculous when can I book tickets” doesn’t translate to the general audiences whatsoever. I wouldn’t be surprised if this made less than $60m.

You're underestimating general audiences' taste in movies.

Garbage!

I disagree I can see this opening around the same as the first. The trailer has already racked up 6.2M views on youtube in less than w4 hours and the reception is mostly positive. No way this misses $60M, I think it's locked for $100M DOM. It has a prime release date with August being shark season and a lot of people will go to the movies just for that.

I think it has an uphill battle with the last film not being very well liked.

The last film was already 5 years ago. I could be totally wrong, but I feel like the pandemic has accelerated how quickly movies have "aged" and how people have "forgotten" pre-pandemic content. Stuff like Game of Thrones, Endgame, The Meg, the Sequel Trilogy all feel like they're from another time.

 

I don't think there's much remembrance of The Meg other than "oh that stupid one where Jason Statham fights a giant shark."

It wasn't hated though. It got moderate reception. First Meg had good legs at the boxoffice. I mean this trailer is #1 trending on youtube right now. People are interested and a great release date without much competition.

This is the kind of movie where the novelty matters more than the last movie being 5 years ago or not very liked 

 

It’s a gigantic monster destroying everything in very fun ways … kinda like Jurassic franchise, the idea will never be boring or unnapealing 

 

I honestly think this will open just like the first one or bigger considering inflation … having a huge Chinese moviestar in it will also help OS

I agree, the only thing it needs to do is provide a good time. It's not going to be the next SW or MCU. 

 

I have a feeling that we're going to see a repeat of 2018 where WB dominated August.

[Krissykins]

Yeh I mean I’ll still be going to see it, I just hope it delivers much more than the first one. 

[stripe]

This will be a surprising hit, just like the first was. A guilty pleasure to close the Summer in fun mood.

 

 

[Valonqar]

Internet is full of MEG 2 memes so I guess at least online crowd enbraced it. I'm all for movies like this doing well. 

[Hatebox]

I definitely agree that the first film overpromised and underdelivered on big shark mayhem. The ingredients were there but it was a weirdly safe movie in the end, presumably budget-related.

[thajdikt]

500M worldwide !

[Godzilla]

The WB trailer doing 15M views in just 2 days shows there is a lot of interest for this movie out there. 

[Krissykins]

Rated PG13.

Quote

In his September 2020 newsletter, Alten confirmed the script, titled Meg 2: The Trench, to be complete, expressing interest in its "dark" tone and potential for an R-rating (as opposed to the first film's PG-13).

So much for that idea

[screambaby]

Yeah that's dissapointing.
