Horror Film “M3GAN” Scores $30 Mil Weekend, Name in News Right Now Doesn’t Hurt

The big movie of the weekend had nothing to do with Oscars or other awards.

It was “M3GAN,” a horror film that scored $30 million in its opening weekend.

The name “Megan” is certainly in the news right now, and you know what i’m talking about. Is it a coincidence? (Are there coincidences?) With Prince Harry’s book all over the internet for the last week, the timing couldn’t be better, right?

So who is this Meg3n? She’s a robot toy who bonds to the child she’s assigned to, and causes unbelievable mayhem. Look for this Meg3n — like the real life one– to be with us for a long time. She’s lucky Chuckie– there will be sequels into the next two decades. You can only imagine the logos– M4GAN, M5GAN, and so on…
