Universal Sends M3GAN Spinoff 'Soulm8te' Straight to Digital After M3GAN 2.0 Flop

Universal released its M3GAN spinoff Soulm8te directly to digital platforms on August 1, after pulling it from its theatrical calendar in December 2025 and briefly shopping it to rival distributors. The Hollywood Reporter attributes the move to the commercial failure of 2025's M3GAN 2.0. Kate Dolan directs; Lily Sullivan stars.
