Mixed Reactions for "The Meg" Sequel: "The Trench" Review

The sequel to "The Meg," titled "The Meg 2: The Trench," is receiving diverging reactions from critics and audiences. While the first film had mixed reviews, the sequel is being panned by critics but has seen an uptick in audience scores. "The Meg 2: The Trench" is projected to have a $25 million domestic opening, competing with other films like "Oppenheimer" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem." However, these films have received better reviews compared to the sequel, and upcoming releases may further impact its target demographic.
