Despite overwhelmingly negative reviews, Meg 2: The Trench chomped down on Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer at the box office this weekend.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Meg 2: The Trench manages to surpass Oppenheimer at the box office this weekend in a surprising upset. Despite mixed reviews, 2018's The Meg was a commercial success, grossing over $530.2 million worldwide.
Now, Warner Bros. has revealed the official box office numbers for Meg 2: The Trench, which has managed to knock Oppenheimer out of second place for the first time since its release. Domestically, the sequel grossed $30 million, while Oppenheimer took $28.7 million and finished in third place. The worldwide tally for Meg 2: The Trench is even more impressive, earning $142 million.
Meg 2: The Trench's Box Office Explained While the movie opened below its predecessor's $45.4 million domestic opening, the success of Meg 2: The Trench's box office lies in its international audience. Despite the negative reviews and a press tour cut short due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, its international gross opened above the first film's initial $101.5 million.
One of the main reasons the Meg movies are so popular internationally is their ability to cross over with recognizable international stars who are consistently bankable in foreign countries. In the 2018 film, Li Bingbing and Winston Chao starred opposite Statham's Jonas Taylor, while Wu Jing appeared in Meg 2: The Trench this time.
