The sci-fi thriller M3GAN has received a digital release and is now available on VOD, just 18 days after it reached theatres

The sci-fi thriller M3GAN (read our review HERE) just reached theatres eighteen days ago, and over the course of these eighteen days it has racked up almost $125 million at the global box office – a nice haul for a movie that was made on a budget of $12 million, and enough for Universal to order a sequel that’s set to reach theatres on January 17, 2025. If you haven’t seen M3GAN yet, now you won’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home to do so. M3GAN has received a digital release, and is now available to watch on VOD! You can rent or purchase it on Amazon Prime Video at THIS LINK.

Directed by Gerard Johnstone and scripted by Akela Cooper (Malignant) from a story crafted by producer James Wan. The film has the following synopsis:

She’s more than just a toy. She’s part of the family.

From the most prolific minds in horror — James Wan, the filmmaker behind the Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring franchises, and Blumhouse, the producer of the Halloween films, The Black Phone and The Invisible Man — comes a fresh new face in terror.

M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma, M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to. When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady, Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems — a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.

Allison Williams (Get Out), Violet McGraw (The Haunting of Hill House), Ronny Chieng (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Brian Jordan Alvarez (Will & Grace), Jen Van Epps (Cowboy Bebop), Lori Dungey (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring), and Stephane Garneau-Monten (Straight Forward) star.

A collaboration between Universal Pictures, Blumhouse Productions, and Atomic Monster, in association with Divide/Conquer, M3GAN was produced by James Wan and Jason Blum. Williams serves as executive producer alongside Mark Katchur, Ryan Turek, Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Adam Hendricks, and Greg Gilreath.
