- Following its June 27 release, M3GAN 2.0 underperformed compared to the original, raising doubts about a third film and future sequels.

- Following its underperformance, a third M3GAN film is unlikely soon, with a spin-off scheduled for January 2026, prompting Blumhouse to reevaluate its franchise plans.
- Within Blumhouse, the studio is reassessing its ambitious 10-title per year slate amid market saturation and recent box office failures, including M3GAN 2.0.
