"Expendables 4" is criticized for recycling material from "Meg 2: The Trench" in its final third, making it feel unoriginal and lacking new ideas. Despite the star-studded cast and their entertaining performances, the film fails to utilize their talents effectively. The review suggests that the franchise should explore new projects instead of continuing with a potential "Meg 3."
"Barbie" has become the highest grossing film in Warner Bros. history, surpassing "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" with a worldwide gross of $1.34 billion.

Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" is nearing the $800 million mark at the worldwide box office. "Gran Turismo" claimed the top spot at the domestic box office, but may be overtaken by "Barbie." "Meg 2: The Trench" has earned $352.5 million globally, with a significant boost from the Chinese market. "Blue Beetle," another Warner Bros. release, has earned $81.8 million globally, falling short of expectations.
Warner Bros' Barbie is closing in on the $1 billion milestone at the global box office, with $951 million worldwide and $527.7 million from overseas markets. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer has surpassed $500 million globally and is expected to reach $551 million by Sunday.

Greta Gerwig's Barbie is set to earn $54 million in its third weekend, reaching $460.4 million domestically and crossing the $1 billion mark globally, making it the first live-action film directed solely by a woman to achieve this milestone. The film has surpassed Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel to become the highest-grossing live-action film domestically for a female director. Meanwhile, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Meg 2: The Trench are in a close race for second place at the box office, with estimates of around $29 million each. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is also performing well, surpassing $500 million worldwide and becoming the highest-grossing World War II film.
"Meg 2: The Trench" is a sequel that amps up the action with more Megalodons, dinosaurs, and a giant octopus. Directed by Ben Wheatley, the film delivers on ludicrous plot points, cartoonish villains, and cheesy dialogue. However, Jason Statham's presence as the lead character provides a comforting familiarity. The story follows Jonas Taylor (Statham) as he battles the creatures of the deep sea to save his loved ones. While the film embraces its over-the-top nature, it falls short of surpassing its predecessor. Overall, "Meg 2" offers a wild and entertaining ride for fans of action-packed creature features.
Jason Statham's new film, Meg 2: The Trench, has received scathing early reviews, with critics panning the sequel for its convoluted plot, lackluster villains, and failure to deliver on the promised shark carnage. Directed by Ben Wheatley, the film has been described as a mishmash of different genres and better movies, struggling to find a balance between suspense and silliness. The Rotten Tomatoes score currently stands at a disappointing 22%, with reviewers unfavorably comparing it to its predecessor.
The box office forecast for the first weekend of August includes holdover runs for Barbie and Oppenheimer, which have exceeded expectations, as well as new releases Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Meg 2: The Trench.

Turtles has received positive reviews and is expected to benefit from its multi-generational appeal, while Meg 2 may struggle due to limited premium screen space and mixed reviews.
