Key Background

After a slower-than- expected opening last month, the film has continued to perform well at the box office, with strong performances during its second, third and fourth weeks. The film is expected to reach $2 billion in global box office earnings in the next few days, according to the film's director. One of the most expensive films ever made, with a budget estimated at $350 million or more, and one of the highest grossing films of all time, it would need to become one of the highest grossing films of all time to break even. The cost of filming a third movie and the development of the script for a fourth and fifth film are included in the budget of The Way Of Water.

The box office performance of M3GAN came after it received rave reviews from critics and an audience score of 79%. It was built on ticket sales from cheaper 2D screenings as most Imax and premium format screens are still running the movie.
