M3GAN Spinoff SOULM8TE's Trailer Confirms Why It's Going to Digital
- On August 1, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment will launch the M3GAN spinoff Soulm8te exclusively on digital platforms after the film was removed from theatrical release late last year.
- Following M3GAN 2.0's underperformance, the spinoff moves to digital; the sequel grossed $39 million worldwide compared to the original M3GAN's more than $181 million.
- Director Kate Dolan helmed the project, starring Lily Sullivan as an AI-powered companion hired by David Rysdahl, with the script by James Wan, Ingrid Bisu, and Rafael Jordan.
- Producer and Blumhouse Atomic Monster CEO Jason Blum described the film as "expertly blended tech paranoia with erotic thriller," while Dolan stated it explores "relationships and loneliness."
- Dolan suggests the "satirical, unhinged" film is best watched with friends, comparing its tone to Basic Instinct or Showgirls, while Blumhouse Atomic Monster released a trailer ahead of August 1.
