The Meg debuts on the heels of the recent surprise hits like 2016’s The Shallows and last year’s 47 Meters Down, which seems to prove there’s still an appetite for this type of film with modern moviegoers.
There’s quite a bit to get excited about in the world of The Meg, as the shark genre has proven itself incredibly successful over the course of the last few years — particularly when it comes to summer releases.
Couple that with the fact that The Meg is bringing in a stacked cast and some solid Shark Week humor, and it seems reasonable to assume that this could very well go on to become one of the August releases to watch out for this year.
