10 Upcoming Movies That Are Already Doomed
5. SOULM8TE
SOULM8TE is a spin-off from the M3GAN franchise - an erotic thriller in which a grieving man (David Rysdahl) hires an AI-powered android companion (Lily Sullivan) which becomes dangerously possessive of him.
On paper this sounds like a fun enough spin on the typical erotic thriller formula, but its impending January 9, 2026 release couldn't feel more poorly timed given that M3GAN 2.0 literally just flopped at the box office.
The sequel's commercial disappointment certainly suggests that there's limited interest in a wider M3GAN franchise, especially if it's a spin-off that doesn't actually feature M3GAN herself.
Beyond that, erotic-themed films have performed poorly theatrically in recent years, and doesn't it all seem a little too similar to the recent Megan Fox-starring sci-fi thriller Subservience?
Given that the M3GAN "brand" is already on life support after the sequel's commercial failure, it feels like Blumhouse is just going to quickly dump this one and move on, regardless of whether it's actually any good.
With that early January release date, though - ever a prime slot for studios to burn off lackluster horror flicks - the odds are certainly against it.
