Horror Movie "M3GAN" Gets Earlier Release Date

The sci-fi horror movie "M3GAN" is hitting the big screen a week earlier than its original Martin Luther King Jr. weekend date and now will be open on January 6.

The Universal/Blumhouse/Atomic Monster genre film from director Gerard Johnstone and producers James Wan and Jason Blum moves onto a date where there’s Sony’s untitled True Haunting movie, and away from New Line’s "House Party" and Sony’s "A Man Called Otto".

The movie follows M3GAN, an artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. 

The android is designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma and can listen, watch, and learn as she becomes a friend and teacher, playmate, and protector, for the child she is bonded to. 

When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady, Gemma is unsure and unprepared to be a parent.  

Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair Cady with her M3GAN prototype in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.
