The film, starring Allison Williams, has received mixed reviews, with some critics describing it as an occasionally fun but overloaded AI sequel that leans more into science fiction than horror. As of July 3, "M3GAN 2.0" has grossed a total of $13.77 million domestically. Meanwhile, Disney's live-action "Lilo & Stitch" sequel is performing strongly at the box office, grossing $906,000 on July 3 alone and reaching a total domestic gross of $403.7 million.
