Refreshingly, the answer is a resounding no. Post-credit scenes have become the norm for modern blockbusters, as nearly every major movie makes a point of teasing out a possible sequel with a short scene after the credits have rolled. While The Meg may not be getting much love from critics – it currently has a 51 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes – the newest shark blockbuster does deserve credit for bucking this annoying trend and letting the movie end when it’s supposed to. Instead of having to sit around for an extra five minutes for a 30-second clip, viewers can head out as soon as the credits appear, as The Meg does not have a post-credits scene. But don’t let the lack of a post-credits sequence make you think that The Meg is shutting the door on any future adventures. We won’t spoil the ending by getting into details but Jason Statham, who stars in the film, told Entertainment Weekly that The Meg could certainly come back for another swim, provided the movie makes some money at the box office. “If it makes money, there’s obviously an appetite to make more money, and if it doesn’t do well, they’ll soon sweep it under the carpet,” Statham said. The Meg is playing in theaters nationwide.
