Disney's Aladdin dropped to No 2 while Elton John's biopic, Rocketman, took off in the No 3 spot.

LOS ANGELES – Warner Bros and Legendary's Godzilla: King Of The Monsters may be king of the box office, but it only managed a meek roar. The monster sequel brought in US$49 million when it debuted in 4,108 locations, a disappointing start given its US$200 million price tag.

Older males accounted for majority of moviegoers, with 59 per cent over the age of 25 and 67 per cent male. Directed by Michael Dougherty, Godzilla: King Of The Monsters follows the eponymous monster who faces off against his nemesis, King Ghidorah, and other ancient mythic creatures who are wreaking havoc on Earth. The film stars Kyle Chandler, Millie Bobby Brown and Bradley Whitford.

Though the jukebox musical will inescapably be compared to last year's Bohemian Rhapsody, Fox's Oscar-winning Queen biopic that generated over US$900 million globally, Rocketman doesn't need to reach those box office heights to become a success. Paramount shelled out US$40 million to produce the R-rated Rocketman, which doesn't shy away from sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll.
