Last night featured the long-awaited debut of one of the most-anticipated new names in horror. The new Blumhouse movie, M3GAN, was finally released months after the titular character became an instant hit on social media. The film was written by Malignant scribe Akela Cooper and follows a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion, but the creation turns bad and things take a dark turn. M3GAN had a strong preview night last night, earning $2.75 million, and is expected to earn between $15 and $20 million for Universal over the weekend. Not only are people going out to the theater to see M3GAN, but the movie is also getting impressive reviews. At the time of this writing, the film is up on Rotten Tomatoes with a 94% critics score after 127 reviews and a 78% audience score after 100+ reviews.
