Krissykins Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited May 9, 2023 by Krissykins 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited May 11, 2023 by Godzilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 This will be a surprising hit, just like the first was. A guilty pleasure to close the Summer in fun mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
