Blumhouse's low budget film skyrocketed in the theaters, reaching an astonishing $180 million all due to the film's marketing. M3GAN established itself as a true "Gen-Z" type movie, with the way they engaged on social media and participated in social media trends. M3GAN's marketing team capitalized on the doll's "droopy sway dance" trend on TikTok, which spurred 1.3 billion views.

The team also participated in viral twitter threads, in which the doll herself acted as a twitter user to respond to other twitter users' tweets and replies about the movie.
