January isn't even over, and M3GAN has already cemented its place as one of the biggest movies of 2023.
It had the internet in a chokehold long before its release, with memes sprouting up immediately after the first trailer was released.
In its first week in theaters, it more than quadrupled its $12 million budget at the box office worldwide.
not m3gan making more in its first 2 nights than babylon has in 2 weeks…
For what it's worth, Babylon, which came out two weeks earlier, still has yet to break the $15 million mark and cost about $80 million.
It's clearly made an impression on people, and here's what some of those people are saying:
1.
saw m3gan last night and when i tell you she ATE
2.
i knew m3gan was about to be a campy banger the moment i learned it had the same writer as malignent

#M3GAN knew exactly what we needed and they delivered with this one in terms of campy horror. A fun, comedy horror that surprisingly has some emotional moments, without sacrificing the laughs and iconic moments. Wish it had been R-Rated, tho.

M3gan was great. Would have liked a few more creative kills, but overall really enjoyed the watch and really excited to see the sequels, there has to be sequels.

M3GAN was absolutely hilarious. I love evil doll movies and this modern take on it. https://t.co/4uevCBKqOz

7.
Me every time M3gan kills someone

I thought #M3GAN was a well told story. I loved the way it built the suspense up slowly. It was a great example of how to make a good horror movie and keep a PG-13 rating.

It’s wild how Allison Williams has built a whole ass career on playing literally the worst person you’ve ever met #M3GAN

Is it weird that even after watching the movie I STILL want a #M3GAN doll? I can use a friend that is paired to be my friend to the end and protect me at all costs. #M3GANMovie

#M3GAN is probably the most fun i’ve had at a theater. the crowd was absolutely loving it. such a fun movie! go see it!

I just saw “M3GAN”. I have no notes, 10/10 highly recommend.
13.
#M3GAN just wants her parents back.
14.
I saw #M3GAN today and it was amazing lol. I can’t think of the last movie I’ve seen where the audience was so vocally reactive the entire time.
15.
2023 has only just started and we already got the best villain of the year ahhh can’t wait for the sequel of #M3GAN
16.
yeah I guess u could say I’m a big fan of the MCU (M3GAN Cinematic Universe)

#M3GAN is a ton of fun. It relies on the ridiculousness of the premise while delivering just enough thrills to avoid becoming a parody. A great film for your first trip to the movies of the year!

M3GAN could've benefited a lot from an R rating, but its unhinged comedy and commitment to its concept make it worth seeing in a theater.

Watching this crazy ass doll was an experience, she can dance, she gave us an acapella of Titanium, she protect and killed without mercy, so camp, ridiculous and funny... I loved this movie. #M3GAN #M3GANMovie

A wild horror comedy with insightful commentary on the commercialization of toys and AI tech. #M3GAN

#M3GAN is a Very Fun Horror Movie that smartly dials up the lovability and meme-ability of the title character. It pulls its punches for that PG-13 rating, but it's all in service of becoming a new Child's Play for a new generation. Succeeds quite admirably, if ya ask me!
