Spinoff ‘Soulm8te’ Headed Straight to Home Video After ‘M3GAN 2.0’ Bombed

The ‘Soulm8te’ spinoff, originally intended to continue the story of the hit ‘M3GAN 2.0,’ is skipping traditional theatrical release in favor of a direct-to-home video approach. This decision follows the underwhelming box office performance of ‘M3GAN 2.0,’ signaling a shift in how studios approach sequels and spin-offs. With fans now able to stream the film starting August 1, it highlights the growing trend of bypassing theaters for direct digital or home video distribution, especially for films that don’t perform well in theaters. This move could indicate a broader industry shift toward catering more directly to consumer viewing preferences.
