The ARR is 74 days and domestic box office receipts are a rock-solid $91 million and likely to continue to expand in the weeks ahead … the film has marvelous legs and will likely spawn not only a sequel (M3GAN 2.0 target for early 2025), but a film franchise series.
Although star billing goes to Allison Williams (Horizon Line, The Perfection, Get Out … and as Marnie in the Girls TV series) as Aunt Gemma, the developer of the Model 3 Generative Android, and Violet McGraw (Separation, Doctor Sleep) as her niece, Cady, the eight-year-old who is the target of M2GAN’s “affections,” the super-star of the film is gymnast/dancer Amie Donald (voiced by Jenna Davis), who gives an over-the-top performance as the pychopathic android with a mind of its own.
Bonus goodies include a trio of production featurettes — “A New Vision of Horror,” “Bringing Life to M3GAN” and “Getting Hacked.”
