The Meg 2 could benefit greatly from the massive popularity of Barbie and Oppenheimer. Here's what the sequel needs to be a summer box office hit.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Meg 2: The Trench is gearing up to be another summer 2023 box office hit. Following the massive momentum of Barbie and Oppenheimer, The Meg 2 aims to be the fun-loving summer popcorn entertainment often found with August theatrical releases.
The Meg sequel will feature Statham coming face-to-face with the Meg and has the potential to be one of the purely thrilling and unserious action movies of the summer. With the impressive financial success of the original Meg film, The Meg 2 has high hopes of outperforming its original 2018 installment which generated roughly $527 million at the global box office from a staggering budget of $130 million. The Meg 2 will have to cross specific monetary thresholds to be considered a box office hit.
With conflicting reports that the original Meg film could have cost as much as $178 million , it's possible that The Meg 2's budget could surpass $200 million, which would not be uncommon for major franchise movies with 2023 releases that rely heavily on CGI. Other examples in this category include the $200 million The Flash, the $200 million Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the $195 million Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
The Meg 2 Needs At Least $380M At The Box Office To Succeed The Meg 2 needs at least $380 million, or just above double its budget, for it to be considered a box office success. Considering that the original movie made more than half a billion dollars, The Meg franchise would be considered in great health if it can at least double the estimated budget of $185 million and generate around $370–390 worldwide.
