'Meg 2' Global Box Office Swims Toward Impressive Debut
The Big Picture Meg 2: The Trench is here to wreak havoc along the shoreline, starting its box office run with a global debut of $142 million. Out of that impressive number, $30 million was earned domestically and $112 million internationally, as the sequel marks one of the final big releases of this summer movie season. Ben Wheatley was in charge of directing the second installment, after John Turteltaub helmed The Meg five years ago.
In the sequel, Jonas Taylor finds himself in bigger problems than the last time, as several giant creatures threaten the humans near the shoreline across different beaches. While the previous movie saw him going up against only a couple of Megs, the sequel makes a quick job of establishing that there's so much more at stake in this adventure.
By comparison, when the first movie introduced audiences to this new universe where prehistoric giant creatures were still alive in the depths of the ocean, The Meg earned $45 million at the domestic box office during its debut. The numbers were surprising, as analysts didn't expect the movie to make such an impact among the general audience.
What's Next for The Meg? There are currently no plans to develop a third Meg movie at Warner Bros. but that could change depending on the success the first sequel can obtain at the box office. The franchise is based on the novels written by Steve Alten. Considering that only two out of the eight books that were released have been adapted, there's plenty of material for the studio to work with if they decide to move forward. Foreign markets, such as China where it has already grossed $53.
