Barbie, Mission Impossible, Oppenheimer who? This summer is all about the crazy global box office success of the VERY B movie feeling Meg 2: The Trench.

It continues to go ‘deep’ into the pockets of movie goers internationally and make a killing. While it isn’t a domestic (USA) box-office success (only doing $66 million), it just swam past the $300 million mark with $316 million total.

That still puts it lower than The Meg, which ended on a worldwide haul of $527 million. The point worth making there is it did far better in the US, and the Chinese market was in a healthier state for Western movie releases then.

Meg 2: The Trench has actually bucked the trend of low-performing Western movies in China, and that has contributed to a healthier outlook for the movie than expected. As with the first movie, it is a joint production between US and Chinese companies, so that may have helped it a little.

It quickly went past Insidious: The Red Door to become the highest-grossing genre movie of 2023. It now nearly earned twice the amount that movie did.

Meg 2: The Trench is very loosely based on the Steve Alten novel of the same name, and sees Jason Statham returning as Jonas Taylor, a deep-sea Navy diver defined by his repeated encounters with the supposedly extinct Megalodon shark.

Meg 2: The Trench is a blockbuster mega hit……internationally.

The mega-shark sequel has found its audience in China where it has made $53 million of its $150 million worldwide box office. That’s over a 1/3 of the film’s revenue which is extremely impressive.

To compare, The Meg made $153 million in China in 2018, contributing a sizeable portion of its eventual $530 million haul worldwide. the film is a relative anomaly by today’s standards and actually outperformed the first film’s opening there.

Domestically the monster blockbuster has made just $37 million so far, but has faced stiff competition from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and the twin terrors of Barbie and Oppenheimer.

Meg 2 has a sub-30% Rotten Tomatoes score.
