Future of the Meg franchise, based on the books.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Since The Meg and Meg 2: The Trench's success has left viewers wondering whether the franchise will continue with more sequels, here is a breakdown of how many more of the original Meg books the Jason Statham movie series can adapt. Despite being adaptions of Steven Alten's book series of the same name, The Meg movies take several creative liberties to enhance their action and drama.
Other than the romantic aspects of Jonas' narrative, the movies also bring a few technical changes to the novels' storylines, with one change being the name of the Megalodon in Meg 2: The Trench. However, despite these changes, the movies stay true to the narrative structures and primary story developments of the novels, and each installment of the movie franchise only adapts one book.
Meg 3 & More Movies Look Likely After The Trench's Success The Meg stands at a Rotten Tomatoes score of 47%, which is not too bad, given that it is a typical popcorn action flick thriving on cheesy one-liners and slam-bang CGI-fueled sequences. However, Meg 2: The Trend further downgraded the franchise's rating by earning only a 28% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite being panned by critics, though, Meg 2: The Trench became a box office success after grossing $386,402,000.
Although no official confirmations surrounding Meg 3's release have been made so far, its likelihood seems high after Meg 2: The Trench's success. The box office numbers from both Meg movies have also paved the way for more installments in the franchise that could adapt other Steven Allen novels. For instance, the author's 2005 novel The Loch is set in the same universe as the Meg series, making it an interesting addition to the movie franchise.
